What on Earth

are We Doing?

This book is a deeply personal, spiritually anchored, and emotionally courageous memoir that takes readers on a journey through trauma, redemption, and purpose. Through the lens of seven life-altering choices, Allison reveals how hardship—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—can be transformed into a roadmap for healing, resilience, and faith.

 we all face, whether we realize it or not. Each chapter of the book is about one of those 7 choices. I learned about these 7 choices through the hardest times in my life – a car accident with a semi-truck, diagnoses of 6 incurable autoimmune diseases, a cheating husband who had a baby with another woman, chronic depression and a prodigal daughter. As my faith grew, I learned how to go to God for strength to overcome all of these challenges. It has been a learning process, but through it all I adopted a foundation to that gives me peace, joy and strength – F.I.T. for Life. F.I.T. stands for Living by Faith, with Integrity, always Trusting God. It is a cycle for life, this is not a one-and-done solution, because problems are always a part of life. Being prepared in strength to overcome brings confidence, peace and trust in God’s plan.
