About our people pages:
Because many visitors have asked for more information about particular people whose words appear on the site, we'll try to give you as much information as we can about individuals.  The Amazon links should give you access to works by the author, though at times they'll display other books if the author has written an essay or introduction for those books.
  

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and
more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos
to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn
a meal into a feast, a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend.  Gratitude makes
sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.
