Eighty-two-year-old Mish Atkinson from Fair Valley, West Virginia, is determined she's going to make something of the time she has left on this earth. When a text message on her new smart phone leads to an encounter with a woman she believes is Jesus, Mish is eager to obey the woman's instructions to follow the love. She knows that Jeff, the gay pastor at her church, think she's lost her marbles, but now that her husband is gone, she's not going to let anyone put a damper on her sunshine. And when a pregnant teen needs her help, it doesn't matter that she doesn't know the difference between STDs and DVDs, she follows the love--in for a penny, in for a dollar, as she always says. Following the love is exciting and meaningful... until it costs much more than dollars and cents.

Have you ever asked a kid you know what’s up with "the gospel"? Can they explain what the gospel is, and even more importantly, do they know what it has to do with them?

Partly memoir, love story, poetry anthology, meditation guide, and lesson manual, That’s My Story, Moving Down a Courageous Path uses a variety of methods to lead the reader down a spiritual path towards inner peace and life miracles.

To find new love, new happiness, we need to open to new possibilities. “I can alter my life by altering the attitude of my mind.” Moving Down will inspire you to M-O-V-E D-O-W-N your own path with love and to L-O-V-E. “Your story helps to support those in their awakening by giving them the opportunity to assess the value of the guidance offered and how that aligns with what they already know to be true.
