That’s the title of my book released exclusively through SimpleTruths.com in February of this year.\u00a0 I’ve just learned that the title has been in their top ten titles for three months in a row.<\/p>\n

Today they are offering my book at a 25% discount.\u00a0 Since it’s an ideal book for graduation and for retirement – I thought I’d let you know.\u00a0 I hope you’ll enjoy a copy for yourself, as well.<\/p>\n

Here’s one of my favorite pieces from the book,<\/p>\n

“Challenges mold me, they do not make me.\u00a0 Praise encourages me, my own intentions inspire me. Successes spur me on but it is the reward of perseverance that satisfies me.\u00a0 Lack may assail \"\"<\/a>me yet understanding “enough” assuages my hunger.\u00a0 Criticism may knock but I choose whether to open the door.\u00a0 Abundance showers me and generosity lights the path.\u00a0 Pain may permeate but hope prevails. As long as I’m breathing, I’m living, all the way, my way, beginning fresh each day. I may have a stare-down with dawn, but I hear the Great Voice say, “Life begins when you do.”\u00a0\u00a0 mary anne radmacher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
