An eclectic collection of short articles based on the author's life-time experience as a healing facilitator, counsellor, mediator, judge, mentor and graduate of the school of hard knocks and soft smiles. The book is uplifting for people of all ages, and makes a wonderful gift. It is a blessing to those who are stressed or anxious, and it is a tonic for those who are suffering. Read it in the morning to pep-up your day; or in the evening to help you sleep soundly. This world may appear to be filled with fear, violence, greed and destruction. If allowed to grow, it can be a ocean of darkness. Yet, there is a power that can overcome all of it. That is the power of The River of Light.
