Approved Book Description
What happens when your existence as you know it is forever changed in ways you never could have imagined? This is the question Jamie Roth had to ask herself when she woke up one spring morning and had lost sight in her left eye. What ensued was a life-altering few months as her eyesight continued to deteriorate, leading her to make radical changes to her life, relationships, and future plans. With humor, vulnerability, and a vibrant inner voice, Jamie shares how she navigated the challenging path created by her unexpected (and very effed-up) circumstances. From Western medicine, medical doctors, and hospitals to Eastern medicine practices and metaphysical approaches, Jamie shares how each of these encounters merged into a greater healing experience for her body and soul.
Whatever your current life circumstances, Jamie hopes her story helps you see that surrender and acceptance, along with humor and love, can be some of the most powerful healers.

Jamie’s Quote:
"There is something very true about the saying, ‘the eyes are the windows to the soul’, especially when you lose one vision, but gain another. In the blink of an eye, my vision as I knew it was altered forever, and my mind, ego, and spirit had to learn to work together to help me heal, as well as to see my path ahead with a severe visual impairment.
I had to learn to trust in the process of what was happening to me and the reason as to why my vision was forever altered; to believe in the possibilities that were opening up for me, which allowed me to see not only what would help me to heal, but to help others to find their inner strength too.
Accepting the new path I was walking took me on a journey of self-discovery, self-forgiveness, and love, and reminded me that laughter is a great coping mechanism when faced with devastating life-altering scenarios.
Surrender can be something that we fight or embrace. I hope that by hearing my story, whatever you may need to surrender to bring you to “see” that you are resilient, you can conquer your personal battles, and that you are seen. I see you."
