​"I intend." From there, flow common, universal, aspirations. But it is not a to-do list! It's more of a trying-to-be list. A way of living. No judgment, just raising the bar for ourselves in the ways we want to raise it. The intentions are spiritually-based, but the spirit is all-inclusive and nondenominational.
In hardcover, with beautiful deckle-edge pages and a ribbon bookmark. For a personalized inscription, please order it directly from me, via the "buy now" button. $16.95 (free shipping). Now also available in paperback at Amazon.com.
Tuesday Mornings with the Dads

This is a heartrending, powerful book that I had the honor of assisting with. Stories by fourteen fathers who have each lost a child suddenly and unexpectedly. Regardless of the cause of death, or the age of the child (from grade-school-age to adulthood), the loss is devastating. Each father shares his story for the purpose of helping other grieving fathers understand that they are not alone as they navigate the depths of despair. They help them believe that they can survive.
If you or someone you know have lost a child, I highly recommend this book. It will offer comfort to those who are grieving, and insight for those close to them.

I had the pleasure of assisting again, as editor, for this follow-up to Tuesday Mornings with the Dads. (See description, above.) This time, twenty-one fathers share their stories. Seventeen are new to the Dads group since the first volume; and four have written updates, having traveled this road of grief a few more years. It is another powerful offering that is sure to help many.

​
For this project, I worked with an amazing group of 12-14-year-olds who have each lost a sibling. They share their stories with a spirit of deep generosity and remarkable candor for the purpose of helping other teens who are coping with loss. This book is a product from Brooke's Place for Grieving Young People, and the beautiful foreword was written by bestselling author John Green.
