Life's Toolbox

Life is good, isn't it? You're making lots of money. The trip to Rome and Paris was a blast. Your children are doing great in school. One thing is wrong...you've just been diagnosed with cancer, or your oldest child was just rushed to the hospital after a horrendous car crash, or you found out that your spouse has been cheating on you.

These are just a few pot-holes scattered about on life's road. We wonder, "Why me? Why now? What did I do to deserve this?" We become indignant, shaking our fist at God, or worse, apathetic.

It's times like these when a little bit of inspiration can go a long way. You might not have the fortitude to read an entire self-help book-- heck, the first chapter might seem daunting. But a page or two of hope might be the only thing you need to bring back a smile and start the healing process.

Life's Toolbox delivers what I consider the necessities at times like this: Inspiration, Insight, and Instruction, and does it in bite-sized pieces. The stories help us remember that we're not alone in our plight and that if we trust our faith (whatever level that may be), we'll realize that we are not victims of tragedy but students being taught humility.

I present this book with a smile, knowing that only by walking down the dark corridors of life with our eyes and heart open can true fulfillment and deep spirituality be gained. I hope through my difficult experiences and the wisdom that I've culled from them, that you will find your way to the light.

Make it a blessed day!
