A lesson in "heart" is my little 10 year old daughter, Sarah, who was born with a muscle missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time. She came home one beautiful spring day to tell me she had competed in "field day"
- that's where they have lots of races and other competitive events. Because of her leg support, my mind raced as I tried to think of encouragement for my Sarah, things I could say to her about not letting this get her down,but before I could get a word out, she said "Daddy, I won two of the races!" I couldn't believe it! And then Sarah said, "I had an advantage." Ah. I knew it. I thought she must have been given a head start... some kind of
physical advantage. But again, before I could say anything, she said, "Daddy, I didn't get a head start... My advantage was I had to try harder!"

I love Leo Buscaglia...I have most, if not, all of his books!!! What I'd do to get a hug from him! Ever read any of Deepak Chopra's spiritual books?

How to Know God is quite good, but a bit heavy. I personally like The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, easy to read & swallow, as well as The Way of the Wizard and Unconditional Life. Been to one of his seminars, it was an enlightening experience!
