Book DescriptionThere simply has to be more to life than the here and now, more than worrying about bills, the job, schedules, and acquiring more possessions.

In The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me. Once, you will find stories and perspectives that will help unlock your amazing potential-potential to foster monumental change in yourself and the people around you.
From the AuthorIn the end, it all comes down to balance. Thus, this motivational and inspirational book is as much about the potential exhilaration and wonder that can be life - as it is the emotional devastation, inherent dignity and perspective that can come with death. It's about nurturing an impassioned and unwavering belief that we each possess an innate ability, through our thoughts and deeds to positively change the world - and nurturing the appreciation that, because some things are in fact beyond our direct influence, faith in a considerably higher power is necessary. It's about the pain of having life, often in the form of someone we care about; knock us down - and the will it takes, and triumph that comes with, making it back to our feet. It's about the existence of love, laughter, passion and perspective that can make yours, and mine, a most audacious life - and the pain, tears, loss and fear... and the intended inspirational lessons to be derived. It's about the realization that without the rain, there would never be true and lasting appreciation for the sun. It's about being willing to step up to bat... and being willing to really swing. But, more than anything, it's about life, being cognitive that the sand continues to flow through the respective hourglasses of our existence and what we choose to think - and not think, do - and not do from here. Enjoy the book.
Each day, be inspired - then aspire to more...
