New reason to move forward

In 4 months we lost 4 family members, 3 from under my roof. I was having trouble escaping the valley I was in, but this book helped me to redirect and move forward once again. It's amazing the amount of golden nuggets there are in such a short book! Many thanks to Don Yaeger for his insight and his ability to really pack a punch. I will never be the same again.
