This is an extra special interview. Yes, they're all special. Some are extra.

Teri and I became Facebook friends a while back. I've enjoyed reading Teri's posts over time. I knew she had a neurological disorder. But, I didn't know what it was until she started soliciting feedback for the title and the cover of her upcoming memoir. I asked to interview her on my podcast. That's when I found out Teri is paralyzed and communicates by typing with her eyes.

Teri has ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. She has been on an incredible journey since being diagnosed just a few months after being married. This journey is chronicled in her incredible memoir- No Pressure, No Diamonds. One proposed title was "I wrote this with my f*cking eyes, you should read it with yours." But, Teri didn't go with that one.

I have just finished reading Teri’s book. I have to admit I shed more than one tear. I’m impressed not just by Teri’s wit but by her grit. The story of how she and her husband John have handled the diagnosis and the progression of the illness is truly inspiring.

Teri comes into this with the background of being a Buddhist and a professional therapist.

This is truly one of the best books I have ever read. I’m going to go out on a limb and put it up there with Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning”. It’s much more accessible and her wit combined with the wisdom makes a very difficult subject palatable. Her book is titled No Pressure No Diamonds- Teri Dillion. It’s available on Amazon. I got the Kindle version and listened to the book.

We just skim the surface in this interview which took about three weeks to complete. I am overjoyed to be able to put it out into the world. I know Teri's book, her life, and her wisdom are going to touch people in a way I am happy to play some small role in.
