5.0 out of 5 stars Waking up July 20, 2011

By Don Hudson

Format:Paperback

Debra Moffitt's experience in leaving the corporate world and a lifeless marriage is the foundation for this fine primer on how to take inspired leaps of faith in imagining and creating a new life. Each of her 108 ways offer spiritually sound advice and gives readers a chance to think about the processes in their own lives that keep them stuck, addicted or unfulfilled. The writing is as inspired and honest as the wisdom the author offers. You can't just read it ...you have to work the steps to get the gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book October 15, 2011

By Marjorie E. Johnson

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is inspiring. I have chosen to take a path in life to look on the happy and inspired side of life instead of the bad side of life, even though my husband and I have been through a lot. The choice is how you look at what you are given. This book will help to keep you anchored and aware of what is great in life and how to stay in a state of grace. I recommend to anyone who lives a challenged life and seeks to stay balanced.
