This I can report from the front lines: life never calms down long enough for us to wait until tomorrow to start living the lives we deserve.

Since the choice of what we curl up with is often crucial for our solace and sanity, we need to learn how to nurture the talent of selection. Book browsing is a meditative art...Books are as essential as breathing.

Too often we elevate the inconsequential into the influential... by reacting without reflecting.

Real Life - the real life of joy we are meant to be living - begins when we restore a sense of reverence to our daily affairs. Today, search for the Sacred in the ordinary with gratitude in your heart and you will surely find it.

Expect to have hope rekindled. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

Remember, no matter what life throws at us, we can always bake a cake!

All we need is the awareness of how blessed we really are.
