There are two ways to live:

　　　　You can live as if nothing is a miracle;

　　　　You can live as if everything is a miracle.

I choose to live my life as if everything is a miracle. What about you?

Maybe the miracles we post in this blog will help you. There have been many so far. I’ll give you a start with mine, then maybe you can share some of yours!

Someone I know once told me that the number 13 means rebirth. I believe it, as I don’t really like the alternative! I believe we make our own luck by what we believe. I believe my life is miraculous, and that I certainly don’t do it, but what God does through me.

The first miracle with Soul Survivors happened when, after I was told by the still small voice that I needed to write a TV series for women (yeah, right!) my inner spiritual guidance was to move to Santa Barbara, CA, sight unseen! I thought to myself, “Well, if Oprah lives there, it can’t be bad.” At the time, I’d been basically homeless, but in style, house-sitting in mansion – yes, 4200 square feet was a mansion to me. I finally got a ghost-writing job, so I was able to get going when the house sold.

Within two weeks of arriving in Santa Barbara I met my mentor for screenwriting, Fred Freeman. He wrote for the Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, and many movies and more. I couldn’t believe my good fortune. I’d been hoping I could find a screenwriter. Yes, I’m a best-selling author, but screenwriting is a whole different animal. Fred said I had to write the screenplay myself! The fact that I did is a miracle in itself. And I’ve got 8 more written, ready to be produced when we get the funds.
