Living in the Now

Posted: June 13, 2011

 

Some months ago I was given an opportunity to submit a short essay on living in the “Now” to Rick Singer, a trained psychotherapist and award-winning author of Your Daily Walk with the Great Minds and Eastern Wisdom for Your Soul.  Once I sent in my essay to him, I thought nothing more about it until I received a congratulatory e-mail from Rick telling me that I had been chosen as one of the guest contributors to his new book NOW: Embracing the Present Moment.So what is this book all about?  What is so special about living in the “Now”?NOW is made up of 99 present-centered reflections which focus on universal themes such as courage, fear, and success, freedom from the past, gratitude, laughter, choice, desire, and the beauty of nature among them. Each mini-meditation is followed up by an immediate call-to-action. The second part of NOW features inspiring and practical essays from a wide-range of people who are living in the “Now”
day by day. Contributors include health and fitness expert and body image coach Stephanie Mansour; lifestyle design consultant, writer, and radio show host DeAnna Radaj; Boston marathon finisher and polio survivor Mary McManus; acclaimed dog sled guide and author Dagny McKinley; author, singer/songwriter, and recording artist Donna W. Hill; me, and others.                                                                             NOW: Embracing the Present Moment* will be officially launched this July, 2011, and I am delighted to be a part of it. Before I forget, the title of my essay is “Act of Fulfilling = Being in the Moment = Happiness”.  I think you’re beginning to get the picture here.  Most of all, I want to express the fact that my writing path to living a passionate life is opening up for me.  When I act on opportunities and go with the natural flow of things, there is no question that I am living a passionate life. I wish the same for you!  *NOW: Embracing the Present Moment is available for order on Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/Now-Embracing-Present-Rick-Singer/dp/1846945240/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1305488636&sr=1-2
