Book Cover & Preview Text
To You. For all you do, for all you are. As we created this book, we each restarted our journey; we felt the change, and we continue to each day. Throughout the book we've given you space to record your own thoughts and feelings. After you read through the book, you may want to revisit a page a day, focusing on just one idea. It is our hope that this book will touch your heart, make you smile, and help you enjoy this part of your own journey with all that you are.
Just Relax It's the sound of pure joy. Close your eyes. Can you hear it? The rhythmic sounds of the water droplets as they fall against the shower walls. You step in and the hot, rising steam envelopes you in a protective blanket, sheilding you from all that comes with life -if only for a few fleeting minutes. The hot water sloughs off the burdens of your long day or the tugging of your dreamy subconscious. Sometimes your most profound and clearest thoughts take place inside this momentary cocoon.
It's a place of renewal and release; a chance to shut out the world for just this time. Explore the Possibilities There is the promise of possibility on a sunny day. The moment you step into the warmth, hear the birds sing, or catch a soft breeze, you feel it. You seem instantly happier and ready to take on the day. You could go for a walk, eat your lunch outdoors, plant some flowers, or sit under a tree and read a book. You might even drive through the country with the windows down, dip your feet in the ocean, get lost in a nap on the porch swing, visit a sick friend, or say hello to your sweet grandma. On a sunny day you can simply breathe deeply and smile.
The possibilities are endless! Take a Break Rainy days on the weekend are the best. They help us slow down and take a break. You can have a lazy morning in your pajamas, read a good book, watch old movies, goof off in the kitchen, or do whatever you like. Rainy days give you the opportunity to drown out the roar of everyday life with the steady hum of the raindrops. Give yourself permission to get lost in a rainy day and you may discover.

About the Book
This book is a gift to you. A journey of the heart. As we embark on our journeys, events, milestones, and adventures shape us and transform us daily. Every now and then fear holds us back and we need a little nudge to move on, to discover what is waiting just a little further down the path. It often starts as something subtle, a small change you decide to make or something that occurs to you in your day to day moments. This book is about those everyday moments, about savoring the here and now. It is in those moments where we can find the courage to make changes. This book will make you smile, it will make you laugh, and hopefully it will make you think about a change you've been meaning to make and help you go for it. Space has been provided for self reflection as you enjoy your own distinct journey.
“The book is one where the reader takes a full inventory of his/her existence. The authors want the reader to live in the present and savor the many blessings in life.” - Ray Quillin, English professor
