When I started writing my first book, Each Day a New Beginning, I didn’t know where the process would take me. To my relief and delight, I discovered that writing provided me with a release for my worries and a sure way to connect to a Higher Power.
Since then I have written fourteen more books, all of which called me “to the table” to listen to my Higher Power and challenged me to reach out to others. Through the Twelve Step fellowship, I have learned that the messenger within wants to speak to each of us. Becoming a writer has been as simple, and as necessary, as that for me. I believe each of us is blessed with an inner messenger. Whether or not we choose to listen makes the difference between having a life of serenity or a life of turmoil.
As you might imagine, my life has not remained in a state of total serenity. Even though I have celebrated twenty-five years of continuous recovery, I have weathered many storms. In many cases, these storms have given rise to new books. Over and over I have discovered that the message of my Higher Power calms me as long as I am willing to listen and share the insights.
I hope, dear friends, that this anthology of meditations offers you peace and hope as you walk through the next year of your life. It is my sincere wish that you will choose to carry some of your own peace and hope to others in your daily journey. I also hope you will turn within for direct communication with the God of your understanding. The journey is softened for all of us each time even one of us chooses to listen and be moved by what we hear. May Peace be with you.
