Amy Alexander is an individual born fiercely independent. That did not change when she sustained a spinal cord injury at the age of twenty - one. The injury left her paralyzed for life from the shoulders down. Now, twenty two years later, Amy's genuine hard earned guidance is transparent in everything she creates. Initially creating the website WhatsYourWheelchair.com, Amy began writing articles that shared her experiences living life with a spinal cord injury. The title encompassed Amy's entire mission; everyone has wheelchairs in their lives, holding them back from creating the life they wish for. Amy's wheelchair is simply easier to see. Six months later, the articles parlayed into the book, What's Your Wheelchair? The book was followed with the self improvement course Amy designed, The Power Of Your Personal Development. The course includes a live, seven week webinar in which Amy guides you through the biggest hurdles we face when trying to improve our lives, the reasons behind them and most importantly, how to get over them. This was followed by a well received video course, Getting What You Wish Out of Life. Amy's (relentless, active, nutty, persistent, outrageous, roller coaster) Life is an extension of Amy's mission, with a twist. Along with being a collection of articles, Amy shares daily experiences of the last year as she was creating her website, her first book, her self improvement courses and AbleSocialNetwork.com. Some of it will make you laugh, some of it will make you cry and some of it will blow your mind. All of it will inspire you to roll up your sleeves and tackle the wheelchairs in your own life, stopping you from living the life of your dreams.
