This review is from: Being the Present: 101 Ways to Inspire Living and Giving (Paperback)

Open this book anyplace in its 231 pages and you will find a true gift for your soul. The authors create 101 short spiritual practices that inspire you to live in the moment and to share yourself, your gifts and your resources with those in the world who are in greater need. These two lovely women relate anecdotes from their own lives as the touchstone for each of these one and two-page lessons. The goal is for each of us to live more fully in the present, experiencing the best of life's blessings and consciously breathing in its richness. This is not a book you need to read from cover to cover. You can pick it up each day, and choose one of its little lessons to guide you that day, but added together Being the Present: 101 Ways to Inspire Living and Giving creates a new way to adapt positive high vibrational living into your daily practice.
