Summary

F O R E W O R D we all tell stories about what we've endured as a way to celebrate our triumph over adversity, and to encourage each other to believe in better days. We know, too, that sharing our delight in the wonderful things that happen to us lifts our own hearts and inspires others. The stories you will read in this book have been contributed by men and women from all over the world. I share them for the purpose of connecting us all to the truth that every day we experience grace and miracles. We need only to look closely and listen carefully to see the hand of God and hear the voice of God in our lives. When we learn to tune into the presence of God, our hearts are open and our lives are full of joy. Imagine, as you read, that you are joining with the many thousands of others who are reading this book as well. Know that we are gathered together in this shared experience of passing on stories in our own voice. I hope this book will encourage you to share your stories of grace and miracles in ever-widening circles, and that perhaps you will pass along the stories in this book to support someone else. When we are doing well and also during the darkest times of our lives, we are surrounded by grace, mercy, and even miracles-every single day. What keeps us from more fully experiencing this truth? We are limited by a lack of connection to our true self, a lifetime of the habit of going it alone, and the need to learn how to completely surrender to grace. Once we know how to live by faith and learn how to tune into the Divine, we can experience deep gratitude and find far more joy in our lives. Everyday Grace, Everyday Miracle shares the story of a remarkable woman who successfully remade her life in the midst of adversity and who now leads women and men to their larger lives. Other profoundly inspiring stories come from men and women around the world who connect readers to a life-changing truth-that our everyday experiences are full of gifts from God.
