At the pinnacle of an impressive career, Mynoo Maryel stepped away from her hamster-on-a-wheel life and leapt out into the great unknown — and landed, on both feet, in pure magic. This is her extraordinary story. From a lifelong pattern of incessant thinking, constant go-go-going and never ending to do lists for ever increasing performance, Mynoo learned to become still. Slowly but surely she turned up the volume on her heart’s inner voice, and listened to its guidance. From that place, and from that point forward, she has been able to create and bring real fulfillment into her own life — and harmony into her relationships. We can all do this.

Absolute miracles are there for each of us to claim. All that’s required are some timely reminders, and something wonderful to light our way. The BE Book offers us those reminders, and that light.

Author Latesha Randall lived for checking off items on her to-do lists until one day she had an epiphany: even though her days were filled with things to do, she was missing out on life. So she stopped writing down everything she needed to accomplish and started a new list of ideals and behaviors to adopt--things like "Be present," "Be engaged," "Be authentic," and many other practices that focus on being rather than doing. Tesh's business and life partner, Sebastian, has since joined her on this journey, and in this book they share all they've discovered.
