These words are here for you, my beloved readers. As a people, we have been sleep-walking for far too long. Swallowed up by our high-tech, high-speed society, we've grown forgetful of who we are and why we are here. We have become cautious and fearful, alienated from our true nature, running from place to place and thing to thing without meaning or purpose.

Unlike many spiritual and self-help books, my work is not here to tell you how to live your life, but to show you how I have lived mine, the...

These heart-warming stories bring insight into life's challenges. They tell the story of my evolution. Life is teaching me to slow down and look beyond the illusions that we have been taught to recognize the deeper truths that have been there all along, waiting for each of us to pause long enough to witness the essential beauty that dwells within. It has been said that it is not the destination, but the way we make the journey that is important. May these words unite us in making the journey in peace. Debi Hartfield

This is a raw and uncensored account of what it has been like for me to quit smoking. Getting clean is messy and ugly. I make no attempt to hide it.
