From the Author "Everyday Miracles" is dedicated to my clients those wonderful people I've had the privilege of working with over the years, because it's in working with them, with the pain, the laughter and the ah-ha! experiences we shared that I learned how to create miracles in your everyday life. And these miracles start with the basic awareness that YOU MATTER. YOU COUNT. YOU ARE IMPORTANT! You are a valuable human being. No matter what you are going through, no matter how painful, difficult or challenging things are, you matter. Your life matters. You have something to contribute to this earth, to this world, to this planet. You are not a mistake! YOU HAVE CHOICE! About what you think and do and feel. Whatever choices you've made up to now, you can make a new choice from here. Regardless of what life throws your way, you can always choose your response. You can rise above, you can choose the high road, you can look for solutions, you can step outside of your self-pity. YOU HAVE IMPACT. What you do matters! It affects other people, it affects what happens in your situation, in our world. Even by sitting there on the couch and doing nothing you have impact! Become conscious of that and be willing to direct your impact so life turns out the way you want it to. These are the principles behind "Everyday Miracles." The book itself is devoted to showing you practical, down to earth ways of getting miracles to flow in every area of your life.
