Gundula Coleman has accepted and to an extent proven that people can have and achieve whatever they want and hopes to relay this message in her collection of thoughts and experiences as a disabled immigrant.

Through her stories, Gundula Coleman shows readers that no matter how overwhelmed they may feel about life, there is always someone out there who has overcome far greater tragedy and that not much is accomplished by being negative, accepting defeat or walling in self-pitty.

"Life is a never-ending learning experience and no matter what happens, life is good, short and precious and should be enjoyed and not wasted by 'sweating the small stuff'! she says. "I do believe that all of us can truly achieve our dreams and goals, once honest with ourselves, faithful, focused and by always maintaining a positive mind set."
