First I have to admit that Colleen Kelly Alexander’s story and experience have opened my eyes. There are many events in life that I might not be able to understand but I know that there is a reason behind them.

Like when Colleen Kelly Alexander, an innocent young woman who is living the happiest time of her life, is harrowingly run over by a truck. That fall day should be an interesting moment of her life. She finally gets to be with the love of her life after going through a series of failures.

It’s painful and unimaginable, when Colleen is hit by a truck. The second the vehicle hits her, the front and back tires drags the lower part of her body across the pavement. This whole horrifying event is followed by a full 5-week of coma at the hospital and 29 surgeries on her body. Before losing her consciousness, Colleen begged to be saved, and I think that is what should happen.

Now that she makes it and survives, there is a lot she can do. But she has lost her career. Not to mention that she also also suffers from lupus. But curling and crying is not who Colleen is. She wants to thank the people who have kept her alive. She wants to keep running and get medals for all the nurses, doctors, other medical staff and everyone who have given her life back.

The writing in this book flows smoothly and carries strong emotions with it. I couldn’t stop at one page. I kept pursuing Collen’s narrative and thoughts until the end of the book. I felt pain, devastation and joy and finally saw that Colleen is indeed very strong.

I was speechless to see Colleen winning 50 races and playing in 40 triathalons and 4 Ironman events. Colleen has received alot and now she is trying to give back as much to others.

What I have finished now is not just Colleen’s story. I feel that I have gained unlimited positive energy from this book.

A very inspiring and positive piece of work.

It was good. It's very inspirational and gives hope where hope is needed. The author went through some tough things and she shares how she got through it. You will not be disappointed with this book!

As a personal account of life difficulties, this book does a very good job. One gets a feel for how alive and vibrant Colleen Kelly Alexander is, in spite of all the health issues she's had to deal with. Her philosophy of life and how she engages with others to improve the world around her are clearly coherent with the personal choices she makes. One can only admire her strength and positive outlook on life. This book was a very inspiring read.

Gratitude In Motion Is a story of loss and strength, a story of restoration and Faithfullness. A story of suffering and healing. This book is a dichotomy and I love it so much. Can you imagine being run over by a freight truck and all that entails for her? All the trauma that she had to go through and rehab? Will she have anyone special in her life to help her through it? Will she be able to hold strong and make it through it all? Will she find answers with GOD?
