We can reflect on where we have been; at times we can articulate where we intend to go, but at any given moment we do not know exactly where we are, other than somewhere between here and there.

Such is the course we each sail . . . and such is the subject of this book—making sense of our voyage by making the most of the points in-between.

This book is an opportunity to access your own wisdom and to go deeper than you perhaps have ever considered going before—an opportunity to emerge with an increased sense of understanding, peace, inner strength, and enthusiasm for living life more graciously, generously and genuinely.
