Karen Salmonsohn, a woman who I’ve learned to love through the magic of Facebook, has recently released a new book called INSTANT HAPPY and created a little contest for bloggers. We have to choose a quote from her new book and write about it. Just like any good miracle, there’s a quote I love that …

How much joy can you stand?
I’ve been on a fascinating learning curve over the last week or so (“fascinating” is another word for oh-my-god-this-roller-coaster-is-going-so-fast-and-I’m-not-sure-my-safety-belt-is-fastened.)
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks focusing single-mindedly on my book proposal and accompanying video.
Although it’s slow going, things have been humming along nicely. As I teased on Facebook last week, I got some …

A little Extra
Today I had one of those lovely little moments that makes me smile for a couple hours afterward. I was third in line to check out at RiteAid. A woman joined the line behind me, and then a moment later stepped up to the racks of candy under the counter. She pulled out a pack …

Miracle through music
I love this guest post by musician Natalia Paruz, who calls herself the “Saw Lady”:

Laughter IS the best medicine
Here’s a lovely miracle from comedian Jim Dailakis:
As a world traveling comedian, one of my finest miracles occurred when I was performing in Chicago two years ago. To me, being the catalyst for a roomful of happy people laughing collectively is a miracle in and of itself.

The Miracle Journal video project
Hey Miracle Watchers!
Today I set out on a new adventure. My dear friend Dan Mitchell (who you may remember from the post Momentary Times) agreed to help me out for the day to get it off the ground.
The concept is that I ask people to talk to me on camera about the things …

The amazingness of Regina Carter
This weekend I had the great good fortune of seeing Regina Carter in performance. She is a phenomenal jazz violinist and she very clearly LOVES what she is doing.
I’ve admired Ms. Carter’s work for a few years, so having the opportunity to hear her play in an intimate venue 10 minutes from my home …
