This book was written to be an awakening for the reader. In order to write it Jim had to live it.

It’s given him a chance to gather and to share the quiet, yet profound, teachings of his children, their beautiful and honest words of wisdom, as well as of others who have influenced and shaped his life.

The journey of unearthing and remembering these experiences has helped him to bring his inner and outer life more closely together.

It has helped him to know himself more deeply, to live life more openly and to know and to use his heart more fully. It has made him more whole. His wish is that it can do the same for you.

Gathering the insights for this book has been like finding diamonds glistening in the sunlight.

As he would pause to reflect on each, he gained great insights into his life and his life’s purpose. He was astonished at his discoveries into my own life by reflecting upon the life of his children.
