Introducing Spring Devotions, Broken Body, Wounded Spirit: Balancing the See-Saw of Chronic Pain



“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?” …
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…”

~Frances Hodgson Burnett

As one who lives with chronic pain, I know how important it is to have daily reminders, because as many of us do, I am easily distracted and can lose focus. That’s what inspired me to write this series of books with my co-author, Jeff Miller, PhD. Our readers and reviewers have told us Spring Devotions is inspiring, well written, and offers practical advice in an easy to read format. They appreciate that each day offers visually stimulating photographs thoughtfully connected to inspiring quotes that are carefully positioned to stimulate self-reflection from the thought provoking questions and exercises.  

Spring is just around the corner, so it’s time to prepare for the season of new growth, a time that allows us to plant roots and establish a core from which we can continue to cultivate wisdom and learn ways to treat our body with the care it needs and deserves. 






Broken Body, Wounded Spirit: Balancing the See-Saw of Chronic Pain

SPRING DEVOTIONS










The paperback version allows space for documenting personal interactions when applying thoughts and practice and our paperback readers tell us how much they appreciate this. Our Kindle readers tell us they keep their journal close so they can write in it as they address each day. 

Please see what our reviewers have to say, here. And, be sure to check out the Table of Contents too. We want you to know about our books before you buy. While the series does provide opportunities for exploring our spiritual nature, and we feel our readers will find this is important to finding balance, none are Christian Devotionals. We received a poor review from a reader who thought the books were something different. We want to make sure you feel this is the right book/s for you. We want you to feel connected and engaged, inspired and successful in meeting your goals. And we would love for you to write a review for Amazon when you feel it's time to prepare for Summer Devotions, the next in the seasonal sequel. 

Now available in paperback and Kindle at Amazon UK and Amazon Canada

Also available at Barnes and Noble in paperback.

“Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never leave nor lose. 
To the question of your life, you are the only answer.  
To the problems in your life, you are the only solution.”

Advice From A Failure, GoWell, and more…

Final Analysis, Part I

How ironic it is that when we can count down our final breaths, we have no concern whatsoever for what others think of our person, ideas, and beliefs.  Lives once lived secondary to fear of the judgment of others, of fitting in and participating in trends, fashions, and opinions are now freed to experience the folly of their yardsticks.

What is ultimately important is personal integrity.  You never leave you.  You create and recreate you. You give yourself that final report card and you sign it. Excuses are not pertinent nor are they accepted. 

Dignity, integrity, love and commitment are what matter, everything else is confetti swept to the gutters from a parade we can barely remember.

In the final analysis, what is my yardstick?

To be continued, Part II will be in the “Spring” edition.


The books in this series are filled with famous quotes, affirmations and pleasing photos that the authors hope you will find motivating and rewarding as you pursue your journey in learning to live with chronic pain. 

Available in paperback at all major online retailers soon, 237 pages, 6” x 9.”
eBook in Kindle format available here.
