About the Author
Sue London
Author / Motivational Speaker
Most people will experience some kind of difficult or traumatic situation in their lives. Sadly, many will face it alone with little or no support. Through her writing and personal appearances, Sue London offers caring support and optimism to people who are suffering
On May 1st, 1989 Sue London stared blankly at the ceiling of her doctor’s office, thinking "Why me?" Sue had just been told she had Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s is a chronic intestinal disorder, which causes severe abdominal pain, cramping, fatigue and diarrhea.
Surgery soon followed to remove fistulas. She was told that a colostomy was a likely next step. Sue fought back, seeking out alternative therapy to help her cope with the disease. When she became pregnant with her second child, Sue was told it was unlikely she could deliver the baby she was carrying. The disease had flared up and her health was in grave danger. In March of 1993, Sue delivered a healthy baby girl and the disease went into remission.
In 1996 Sue’s illness flared up again and her intestine burst. She was rushed to the hospital and doctors predicted that she was just 30 minutes from death. Fortunately, a talented surgeon was able to act quickly and save her life.
Following this dramatic event, Sue began to take pro-active steps to health and happiness. Faced with a giant STOP SIGN, Sue made the left turn of a lifetime, adopted a positive outlook and never looked back!
Sue enrolled in courses in health and nutrition. She graduated at the top of her class from the Ontario College of Reflexology in 1999.
While training, Sue taught nursery school, worked in daycare programs and ran an intergenerational program for seniors and toddlers at The Allendale Seniors Facility. Her list of activities also included fundraising for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada, teaching reading and skating with young children.
Throughout this amazing journey, Sue’s dog, Rocky (a Shih-Tzu) remained a devoted companion. Rocky helped Sue to realize the positives in her life, providing constant unconditional love.
Sue began writing stories about a magical dog named Rocky, and his many encounters with people in need, as a way of helping her deal with her own health problems. The first book in the series, Rocky’s Journey, – Rocky’s Trip To The Hospital – is now in print and available through Kristar Publishing. The book has been listed in the National Library of Canada catalogue and the Spectrum Catalogue (used by schools across the country).
Sue finds writing and speaking about the many stories that have touched her both therapeutic and rewarding. She inspires audiences, both young and old, to do the things that they’ve postponed for too long. She encourages people to adopt a positive attitude and stay true to their dreams – as she has done so successfully.
Sue’s illness is in remission. She feels great and is enjoying a new life in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, where she writes children’s books full-time.
