Posts Tagged ‘tragedy’

Old tales and childhood stories often spoke about the idea that good things happen to good people … but I’ve learned over time how untrue that really is.

Recently I’ve been blessed to meet people who have taught me just how lucky I really am … in fact, in the last week 3 separate people have shared with me real tragedy that they have, are and will be facing in their lives … tragedy about family, loved ones, loss, grief and so much more. In the end I’m amazed at how many times in the last week I’ve stopped to be thankful for the *normal* things I have taken for granted over the last several years … including:

  • my son is alive, healthy and part of my life,
  • I have a home and people who love me,
  • I may be behind on bills but I’m able to work, I have a job and I’m finding ways to make end meet,
  • I have dreams and I’m healthy and strong enough to pursue those dreams,

One such set of people who I was contacted by email was a fellow metaphysician Dr. Debra Ford and her friend Jill Ethier. They recently finished a book called, My Baby Died: Grief without suffering and it had been brought to my attention that they have entered it in a competition for spiritual authors. I’ve learned that they need people to vote for the book if it’s going to go onto the second round so I wanted to let you know about it…

Here is their You Tube video about the book and below it is a link to the competition page where people can vote for it.

If you’d like to support these wonderful women in getting their message out to the world please feel encouraged to vote for their book here:
