Publisher's Synopsis
ARE YOU LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE? THE SPIDER STORY ... While I recently travelled to another State to visit my son, I was bitten by a brown recluse spider and endured some of the sickest days of my life. As I was treated for and rested for many weeks, I decided to write this book. It felt almost as if it was dictated to me. This is not a feel good self-help book; rather, it addresses the current interpersonal and international crises our planet is facing. It challenges us to look deep within and make an honest, healthy decision about our choices, our values and the life we choose to lead, led by being right or being well, choosing knowledge or wisdom.
