Has that question ever flashed through your mind? Perhaps you feel as though life has just pushed you along, leaving your dreams and aspirations in its wake. Have you ever wondered if you're living the life God designed for you?

Take an adventurous dive with Margaret Becker as she chronicles her own personal journey of discovery. Becker daringly opens a Pandora's box of life details, tackling subjects such as exhaustion, loneliness, faith, true success versus perceived success, family, finances-even tooth flossing-in a lighthearted yet thought-provoking narrative. With equal parts wisdom, humor, playfulness, and spirituality, Becker offers a simple process that lets you come up for air while you redefine, reclaim

And rejuvenate your life. Book jacket.
