Book two of 52 Simple Steps to a Better Life was supposed to be a daily account of how hard it is to write a book about leading a fit and healthy life...this blog takes over from that concept and will, most likely, end up going in the same direction as the book did - as often as possible daily but more often than not bi weekly or even weekly...such is life as a father of 2 young boys and an incredibly busy life!

Now is reckoning time...day 22ish...
I know deep in my heart that the book I've written is good. Yet my natural inclination is to lean toward the negative....so I think it's only appropriate to quote one of my favorite authors who really calls it the way it is...from Marriane Williamson...."Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." I need to sleep on that!!
