Beware of Smiling in France!

http://www.AnneLipscomb.com
You might think that smiling at someone would always be taken as a welcome gesture, would you not? Well not necessarily. Smiles may not be so simple to some. The meaning of a smile can differ from country to country. It took me years to realize how very differently, for example, the French can interpret a smile than we Americans.

This video, Beware of Smiling in France, shares one part of my experience since becoming ill with MCS. I used to travel all the time. In fact I have traveled all my life until my illness. Going back to France made me think about how differently people in other countries perceive things than we Americans. In this video may you find hope, a laugh, and some new information should you travel to France anytime soon.

It is not easy to live life while coping with a chronic illness and overcoming powerlessness. I hope my story of overcoming adversity will help you to triumph over your own adversity and overcome any obstacle that may show up in your own path. Please feel free to visit my website and watch my movie there. It is a short documentary about living with MCS.

Then read my book. It will give you a new perspective on what is possible in the face of adversity. I hope that my story may be of help to you.

About my book, Poisoned By Pollution....
I write to you from the perspective of illness. Sickness imposes limitations. They alter but they need not define me. My perspective, as a result, is a hopeful and enlarged one. It is a story of overcoming adversity.

For a long time I used to go to bed feeling as if I lived in a prison. My chemical illness had closed off my world. This illness no longer writes my life. I have become my own author. The story of how this came to be is one I want to share. This book is not just a re-telling of my illness. It is also the story of how I came to be this new person, with a newly expanded expression of my soul, and then, a writer of my life.

Writing my book (Poisoned by Pollution) while sick was been a challenge. I've spent too many days and too many years lying in bed feeling like poisons were coursing through me. For years, I could not even read or write without growing dizzy and nauseated. Sometimes I would talk into a tape recorder instead. Or I would write a few sentences, then close my eyes until the dizziness and nausea subsided before continuing on. At one point I almost died when my digestive troubles worsened so much that I couldn't hold down food or water, which led to my body being in a starvation state with my organ systems shutting down. The road to my book has been long indeed. I hope through this video and my book, and more to come, that I may help you on your path of discovery and reclaiming your life.

I like so much your American smile!

I would even like to bring my numerous children in one of English speaking countries, because I would like to see them smile too! But, I don't know which country is clean enough: Australia has been poisoned by nuclear tests in the sixties, Europe and Amerika ... are not better. Although I have travelled a lot , I don't know where to go!

Do you know where one could go to escape this pollution?
