Welcome to Victoria Mavis’ online book store/website! My mission and that of my book, Every Scar Tells a Story, as well as my blog and speaker engagements is to help others unleash their power to success by overcoming obstacles in the way.  My tools are simple which anyone can use: the lifetime lessons and wisdom I’ve learned from the journey of living with a disability in a world surround by people who did not understand what it meant to ‘walk in my shoes’, or perhaps I should say, to ‘limp with my crutch’.

You see, I believe it’s a universal message to empower others through their own form of ableism; whether disabled or not, ableism allows for ‘living life large’—despite circumstances! My book, writings and speaker presentations transcend disability, gender, race, sex, age—or any other attribute that the world defines us by and people limit our ableism through. 

Consider this—the choice of how you react to life events is yours to make. If all humanity were to respect the difference (ableism) of others and value their unique contribution to this world, in spite of their handicap (and yes it could be someone’s hot temper at how high their handicap is in their golf game), what success could we each achieve? Regardless of whether you buy my book, hire me as a speaker, or ever visit my book store again, I challenge you to build a better world for yourself, your family and friends, and the future of the world—with or without disabilities. And start today.

Live life large and be blessed! ~Victoria Mavis
