Reflections for Beginners from 'Hour To Hour - The First 30 Days' - by Shelly Marshall the author of 'Day By Day' & other Meditation Books THIS BOOK IS NOW OUT OF PRINT
Right now you don't have to pretend to be someone you are not. You don't have to pretend to be strong (if you're a man) or weak (if you're a woman). You don't have to pretend that you don't want to use, if you do--share what is real. We can't help if we don't know the truth.
Grant me the courage to simply be who I am, say what is real in my gut, and respond genuinely to others.
Yep, I still have a copy of Day By Day that was gifted by an oldtimer a few years back
