Patricia Bochi was fifteen years old when she broke her back in a car accident, which shattered her dreams of becoming a classical ballerina. As a paraplegic, she had to reinvent herself during a particularly awkward stage of life.
Despite that, she found herself and success. She got married, had two children, and graduated cum laude from University of Miami School of Law. Patricia lives in Miami and runs an immigration law practice.
Doctor of Psychology but now retired, an avid traveler, a self-taught visual artist, and a firm believer that good ideas deserve to become reality. And why not?
Patricia’s experience, strength, and hope in Your Upward Journey lets the reader know that anything is possible, life is a choice, and abundance exists in every moment. There is abundance in the heartache and pain, in the joy and peace, and in all that unfolds in each of our lives. Patience, humility, and acceptance are but a few of the rewards when we live the upward journey. The steps up require an honest, open, and willing attitude. Patricia presents how we are all normal, we are all ok, and we are all worthy; however, it is an inside job. We can not blame and shame our circumstances and expect to receive the upward journey. While she may have thought her book was an epiphany to truly understanding how life works, she is humble to admit that fear and heartache will always be an integral part of the upward journey. Her candid chats with the reader and life scenarios remind us that whether we are postponing joy or tripping over what is already behind us, it is a choice. She accepts her physical limitations and in doing so, Patu focuses on what she can do. Serenity and joy are an inside job and we are each a masterpiece in progress. And we are human. “I’m not ashamed of being human…I’m open to improvement because I owe it to myself!”. She gives the reader the dignity and grace to be human and be open to improvement because we are worth it, but only if we work it!
