How fear is keeping you from having the life you love

I started reading Gabrielle Bernstein’s “May Cause Miracles” about a month ago and that’s about all I can say on the subject.  The truth is that I’ve been keeping busy with other small projects and have neglected reading her book even though I have it at the convenience of my fingertips right inside my phone.

How to Have a Meaningful Life

It is truly a tragedy what happened today in Boston.  I feel like it stopped us all dead on our tracks as we went about our busy, daily, mundane routine.  Tragedies like these are a double-edged sword after all, for they remind us that life is precious.
