Inspiration for the Heart: Short stories to build confidence and encourage the soul

This collection of non-fiction short stories is about my unique life experiences, challenges and praises. Inspiration for the Heart is written to inspire, encourage, give hope…and you will see God’s hand woven into each story. At the end of each one, I’ve provided a brief summary of the lesson I learned from that life event, along with the address of a correlating Bible verse. I like relating to people by verbally espousing stories. The purpose may be to parallel a point, give an idea to ponder or simply bring a smile and laugh to them.

The Undercover Yogi: Short Stories, Poems, and Affirmations

This collection of meditated wisdom, poetry, and positive affirmations carries a life-changing message. It is an invaluable spiritual companion for everyone. It includes small gems of poetry, prose, and short stories to inspire the reader to give more time to meditation and to deeply feel the love within the heart. Lance says, “One of the most important things to know is that we are loved so much more than it may seem sometimes, to know that the Universe loves us more than we can imagine. Feeling, remembering, and comprehending the Universe’s love is why we are here. To me, the spiritual, physical, and mental practice of meditation is one of the most strategic ways of dropping into the heart, healing the mind, and synchronizing the two to work together. With meditation, we expand the love in our heart in ways we never could have imagined. In our day-to-day lives, so much stuff can be thrown our way; meditation is always there to center us and to connect with life, love, the Earth, and all things beautiful.”
