We were in a small bookstore in Hobart near us where we shop for books all the time. I found this book on a sales shelf. I gave this "self help"book to my Mom back in 1990 when I lived in NC. My Mom was going through a rough time and it was meant as a gesture to get her inspired on a daily basis with just little baby steps that would make her happy. I wrote a note to her inside the cover page telling her I loved her. 30 years later, I found the book in her dresser drawer while helping her pack to move back to NY. I put it on my bookcase in the dining room. Somehow, it has disappeared and I have looked everywhere for it. 
I happened to see a copy of it in the bookstore last weekend and smiled and thought about her and walked away. Something compelled me to go back and look at it again. When I did, I opened the cover page and there was an inscription and it took my breath away. I bought the book.
