“Great Things Happen Every Day: Finding joy with family, friends and banana milkshakes” (2019)

This is a book for all the people who are ready to see the good in others, good in the world and good in themselves.On August 5, 2015 I took a surprise visit to the cardiac wing of Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati. I suffered what was labeled a "small" heart attack. I remember thinking "if this is small I'd hate to see medium."Per the advice of my Doctor I changed my diet, started exercising more and decided to work on controlling stress. This book is about the stress control part of my change: For the past four years I have written a daily list: Great things that happened today. Each day I celebrate the great things that happened. Since I started this journey I've met some fascinating people, discovered new recipes and celebrated life. My goal is to share the celebration with you and start a "Great Things" movement. We can do it, because great things happen all around us and they happen every day .UPDATE NOVEMBER 2020: Effective immediately $1 for each book sold will go to helping children in El Milagro Peru.
