How did this book come about? When I could no longer hear my truth and I was stuck in my past, my pain and my perspective, something had to be done. I decided as a wife, mom and business woman to take 8 -10 hours each Monday and just get silent for a year. I would pray, meditate and read books that inspired my soul in silence, no communication to world. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am so grateful, my family, friends and clients honored this decision. In this book you will find, meditations, reflections, affirmations and life lessons, I learned and had to unlearn, to hear the voice of God and my truth again. This practice unblocked so much inside and changed my life in ways I could not imagine. Things that I had been praying about and desiring, start flooding into my life and I found me, again. It was not easy to face some hard things about myself, but it was worth it and it has changed the lives of those around me as well. Sometimes we have to unplugged to really connect.
The Way Home By: Lou Daniel This is a story about a man born in poverty. He never knew his father. He was the older of two boys. Neither boy’s father was ever around. Their mother worked two jobs to make sure they had a chance at life. Life was never easy for Daniel, and he acted out as a result. Daniel’s troubles persisted throughout his teenage years and early adulthood, eventually landing him in prison for ten years and testing his faith in God. While in prison, Daniel lost his mother, adding to his troubled life. But instead of going down the same dark path, Daniel finds God, and his life begins to turn around. In addition to finding trusted friends and a church community, Daniel’s life continues to change for the better, starting with winning the lottery. With more money than he could ever spend, Daniel works to make a positive difference in the world. A tragic event later in life tests Daniel’s faith in God, but putting his faith in God allows him to eventually rebuild his life and find love once again. The Way Home is about love, loss, and the power of trusting in the Lord.

In December 1962, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa set sail from Paris to New York for what was arguably the riskiest art exhibition ever mounted. The fragile icon traveled like a head of state, with armed guards and military surveillance, in a temperature-controlled vault. Masterminding the entire show was First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who tirelessly campaigned to persuade National Gallery Director John Walker, French President Charles de Gaulle, and her own husband to debut the legendary smile here. For 88 charmed days, "Lisa Fever" swept the nation as nearly two million Americans attended exhibits in Washington, D.C. and New York. It was the greatest outpouring of appreciation for a single work of art in American history. And as only Jacqueline Kennedy could do, she infused America's first museum blockbuster show with a unique sense of pageantry, igniting a national love affair with the arts. Gathering rare archival documents and interviews, acclaimed biographer Margaret Leslie Davis has woven a tantalizing saga, filled with international intrigue and the irresistible charm of Camelot and its queen.
