Most of us live quite commonplace lives. Yet if we learn to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, we can find profound synchronicities, affirmation, and joy. It was seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary that inspired Carole Balawender to write down a series of simple, true stories from her own life. Once she began to write, the ease with which the words came made the stories appear to write themselves-an extraordinary event in itself. These stories capture moments in her everyday life-some moments to savor and some to just get through. All of them offer lessons in hope. They will help you rethink the events of your own daily life. They will encourage you to live with wonder and follow your dreams.
