Especially with many things going on in our world and people in many ways are struggling with the unknown, having maintaining faith and not veering off into fear.

When we look and when I look, and I’m careful to be conscious of it, I can see all these wonderful serendipities at this time. This time, it’s wonderful to acknowledge how many wonderful things are happening in a way that we can’t predict or plan. I happen to know my book agent is the person who connected me and Kiri, who I’m about to introduce you to. I’m looking at the breadcrumb trail backward. Often, it’s this serendipitous leading connection to somebody through someone else. Sometimes that’s the case and that’s always a joy. I won’t get into the backstory of how I get introduced to people because not everybody that’s a guest on the show is somebody that I’ve known for years. I’m lucky because, from my standpoint, all of our guests are quite amazing and interesting.
