"Three small words as humble and unassuming as my grandmother herself. Short, sweet, and powerful, they were more than a wish. I came to understand these words as a holy petition." This book describes how one woman interrupted a lifetime of struggle and stepped into the freedom for which she was made. When Kim Smith''s grandmother passed away at age 95, she left no inheritance except her loving example and "Enjoy Your Life", her closing words spoken at each parting. Kim''s grief brought desperation, her curiosity sparked a shift, and God''s true nature was fully revealed. Expanding faith fueled a journey of spiritual transfiguration and birthed a desire to promote this powerful three word legacy. The purpose of this book is to do just that.

An autobiography in collage. Forty-five quirky true stories from the life of the artist written in collage format. Excerpts from some of the stories: I grew up in the shadow of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Every year my mother gets two turkeys and names one Thanksgiving and the other Christmas. My mother would tell me to think pretty thoughts, so I would think about tulips. If I wanted to get back at her for something I had to do it in a pre-meditated covert manner. After dinner we would sit on the deck, drink scotch, smoke cigars, and throw our table scraps over the edge to attract the bears. These lessons were usually prefaced with, "don''t tell your mother." Her scream probably woke up half the campground. I didn''t realize that she was a madam and her name was a play on her occupation. I always thought they were stupid. Surely they knew the babies weren''t real. Winner Bronze Medal 2009, Independent Book Publishers Award - Essay/Creative Non-fiction, Finalist 2009 Indie Excellence Award - Art.

The aim of this Contentment Creation Guide is to show that contentment is accessible to all. It''s not only for people who are deep and dedicated. It isn''t something that was gifted to some and denied others. Contentment is the result of an intentional daily practice, one that requires no special skills or supplies, and one that can render you unrecognizable, too. Let''s flow.
