Lana Bataineh, better known as Loofy, is a mother of three
who was leading a relatively healthy life when, at the age of
44, and out of seemingly nowhere, she was diagnosed with
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The disease takes away
the patient’s movement abilities and eventually works its way
to the lungs, causing respiratory failure. The disease is
considered to be fatal within two to five years from the time
it is diagnosed.
Now, 16 years later, Loofy has overcome the medical
statistics and is thriving. In this book, she talks about her
journey to healing, and how she was able to mentally stop the
fatal spread of the disease. Beyond finding stability in her
physical condition, she has managed to inspire countless lives
along the way and now uses her platform to help others get
through their struggles.

Choosing Love is an incredibly warm, real, and empowering read. You really feel Loofy fully opening up and letting you into her world and her family. Her journey is incredible, the power of choosing love is incredible. And the pinnacle, the last chapter on Growth, is one that I would read over and over again just to remind myself of what really matters in this life, and why we should always choose love and happiness.

“Choosing Love” fully engulfed me, which led me to finish the whole book in one sitting.
Loofy carries immense humility, power, resilience, courage, love and above all realness. This book is for everyone that needs a wake up call. You are a true gift to humanity, Loofy. Thank you for teaching us.
