Brought me to your website & blog. I am a stay at home mom of 2 (7 & 8 year olds) living in Surrey BC, Canada, an artist which includes painting, photography, and jewelry making. I felt as though you wrote this book directly to me!! I felt like you knew me...like you were my personal life coach. I am going to re-read your book, likely for the rest of my life. Like a manual, a reminder to live authentically and to take action in the presence of fear (that is a BIG one)!!! I can not thank you enough for this wonderful book, for your incrediable wisdom, for your words that have prompted action in my life, one tiny step at a time! Thank you, truly, you have made such an impact on my life. Julie :) Hi Margie…just finished your book "Find your courage!" this morning – finally…I am a slow reader.

I can appreciate the noise and need for respite, as I had three kids close in age. Best teachers for learning flexibility! Hope today's weather doesn't overwhelm. School may last into July this year, for all the snow days to date. Think I'll have a latte, too. Gretchen Hi Margie,
Thanks for sharing your life in such an authentic voice. I can appreciate the noise and need for respite, as I had three kids close in age. Best teachers for learning flexibility! Hope today's weather doesn't overwhelm. School may last into July this year, for all the snow days to date. Think I'll have a latte, too.

You are right to throw out the old notions of how things "should be" and just roll with the punches. No point fighting with reality after all. All the very best to you - at work and at home - as you continue to turn negatives into positives. After all, isn't that what life is all about!?

I've never been to Atlanta but if i ever do, i will come by for a latte! Acknowledge yourself for all that you do to be the great mom that you are and manage the many things that you do. Take some time for yourself everyday Audra... you need that time to replenish the reserves, stay strong, centered and face the world with the resilience, hope and courage you need. Thanks Audra.

I think that practicing gratitude shifts our outlook on everything. It's comparing our lot with others and dwelling on what we don't have that makes us unhappy or bitter. It's focusing on what we do, that allows us to feel joy, peace and gratitude. Thanks Andrew. I think that practicing gratitude shifts our outlook on everything.

I work with mentally ill homeless people, and you never know what to expect. The best thing to do is to throw preconceived notions out the window and just be glad for what you have got. I find that works well in my personal life too. My job is all about rolling with resistance and turning the negatve into positive.

Leaking toilets (after 5 visits from a plumber, maybe I should try one that can do the job), two jobs, conference calls when I should be giving my son a bath, delayed bath time, and what I anticipate to be a rough wake up tomorrow morning, I needed to read your column. My son pipes up while I'm bailing water out of the leaking toilet, 'Mom, I'll brush my teeth and do my mouthwash all on my own to help you out cuz your job is hard.' Oh, he made me cry. The innocence of that sweet little boy brought me to my knees. In tears because I'd had enough, and because he brings me so very, very much. Thank you for being part of my life, though we've never met. If you're ever in Atlanta the lattes are on me in my kitchen.

Making the most of it is what the kids see you do and adopt the same healthy habit. It is easy to be sad, beconing bitter but it takes effort to make the most of things that you are dealth in life. I figure I am way way more blessed than I deserve. You have the right attitude. Making the most of it is what the kids see you do and adopt the same healthy habit.
