Want to live your dreams--or even surpass them? Want the world to change for the better? Want to see a miracle? What are we waiting for? Why not be the miracle?
That's the challenge Regina Brett sets forth in Be the Miracle.To be a miracle doesn't necessarily mean tackling problems across the globe. It means making a difference, believing change is possible, even in your own living room, cubicle, neighborhood, or family.
Through a collection of inspirational essays, Regina shares lessons that will help people make a difference in the world around them. The lessons come from Regina's life experience and from the lives of others, especially those she has met in her 24 years as a journalist. Each chapter is a lesson that can stand alone, but together they form a handbook for seeing the miracle of change everywhere.
With upbeat lessons from "Do Your Best and Forget the Rest" to "Sometimes It's Enough to Make One Person Happy," these lessons will help you accept and embrace yourself, challenge and change yourself, and better serve others.

— Staci, 11/10/2012" Good book to help motivate you. There are 50 short chapters, each written to inspire. This is something you could read a bit each day - and then start over a month or two later. "
— Nickie, 8/17/2012" Well written, thought provoking, small-but-not-too-small chapters -- all things that make up a good book! You can't race through this read, though; it is better to digest it just a couple of chapters or so at a time. Not too sappy, not to impersonal, just right, Goldilocks. "
