As we approach Halloween, it is good to remember the holiday's history as a way of honoring those holy or sanctified ones who have gone before us and easily lends itself to a discussion about death, a topic most of us try to avoid. As Katie writes about this month, constantly reminding ourselves of the inevitability of death is the secret to a joyful and wonder filled life. Turns out underneath all the ghosts and goblins miracles can be found.

Summertime is finally here, when spring has fulfilled its mission, butterflies fill fragrant gardens in full bloom, and we get to pass time in the warmth of the sun. This month Katie writes about how it is that time measures the moments of our lives. We hope you find yourselves enjoying all the wonder that summer has to offer.

Hope is in the air. According to Desmond Tutu, “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness." May you too find the light in your life and remember there are always miracles.

A story illustrating a common thread we heard in miracle stories. The Jeopardy answer: "YES, absolutely, it IS a miracle." The question: "What is a miracle when the miracle you ask for, isn't the miracle you get?"

We love the notion of being the miracle for someone else. In the miracle business, we like to say that every one has a job, but only you know what that job is…
