“A kind, gentle, and nurturing guide to personal growth . . . focusing on the key elements that will lead you to greater peace and inner happiness.” —Dr. Sheri A. Rosenthal, author of Banish Mind Spam!

Software and technological entrepreneur Huie, who came to a search for deeper meaning later in life, has teamed up with artist and writer, Radmacher, who came to it earlier through her art. Point and counterpoint, they take the reader through a process to taking charge of their own lives.

The key to living an inspired life is simple: accept your past; release your expectations; embrace your choices. The truth of the matter is that the more we like ourselves, the fewer expectations we have, and the way we make conscious choices—in everyday matters large and small are the keys to living an inspired life.

Simply an Inspired Life teaches readers to distinguish between events and our feelings about them, to choose thoughtfully, and never blame ourselves or anyone else. Filled with inspiring quotes, wisdom from the ages and all traditions, personal stories, and exercises, Simply an Inspired Life is based on eight guiding principles: honor, forgiveness, gratitude, choice, vision, action, celebration, and unity with all creation. They are equally important—and practiced daily they change lives.

“Mary Anne Radmacher’s words simply inspire. Now, teamed with Johnathan Huie, I have two SAILs furled in one craft to remind me of virtues I want to incorporate into my life with suggested steps to do just that.” —Jane Kirkpatrick, New York Times-bestselling author

“A great read. The interplay between the two authors was compelling.” —Karen Casey, author of Each Day a Renewed Beginning
