I Love It When Someone Really Gets It

I am so lucky to have been found by Dana Roc, who runs a beautiful website and newsletter devoted to helping people live fuller lives. She featured an interview with me this week in her Inspiring People series, and I have to say that I think she's the inspiring one.

Please check it out. Our talk really got to some of the key themes of the book that I have wanted to make sure people understood. The main one is about control. How we're not in control so much of what happens to us, but we are in control of our attitude toward what happens to us. Such a big lesson in life.

Read the whole interview.

I also want to tell you that we've made great progress collecting funds for October's beneficiary of the Seed Campaign, the John Dau Foundation. One of my readers issues a challenge to everyone who had already bought my book to donate $100 to the foundation and many of you have responded.

We're also trying to track down a used ambulance that can be donated to Dau's clinic in Sudan AND a way to get the ambulance delivered there. So we're working.

I tell you, I thought writing a book was rewarding. But I've decided that finding a way to help people is the most rewarding thing of all. Thanks for your help.
