Eckart Tolle meets Chicken Soup in a new book released
for the 2008 Holiday Season - November 19, 2008
Pilar Stella and Cynthia Aliza Blake are releasing their book BEing the Present,
101 Ways to Inspire Living and Giving, for the 2008 holiday season. Packaged like a
holiday gift in and of itself, this delightful book offers the reader insightful personal
journeys to understanding the powerful relationship between living in the moment
and giving. With vivid quotes, amusing anecdotes and diverse real-life stories,
this collection of honest moments helps the reader to explore the rich landscape of
“The Present” and find inspiration for reflection and to take action in their lives.
The authors also offer the opportunity for readers to write in and share their
stories for future publications at www.beingthepresent.com. Through this book,
the authors take the thoughts of Eckart Tolle and the compassion of Chicken Soup
for the Soul and personalize it into stories and concrete action to help the reader
to live life in the moment.
Bestselling Author Barbara DeAngelis wrote of BEing the Present: 101 Ways to Inspire Living and Giving,
“There is no greater gift that we can give to ourselves and others than being in the moment. Pilar and Cynthia
offer you uplifting and inspiring stories that can help you live your own life with more peace and harmony and
find meaning in every moment. This book is a delightful reminder of what is truly important.” |
Through this book, Pilar and Cynthia hope to inspire others to live fully in the moment and take time to give to
themselves and others. Pilar was inspired to write the book because she woke up one day and realized that she
really didn’t know how to live in the moment and that she had spent most of her life worrying about the past,
stressing out about the future and giving to others rather than herself. Through this book the authors identify ways
to live more fully right now rather than worrying about the past or planning for the future to help themselves and>
others. For Cynthia it was a journey about loving herself and forgiveness in her life.
Colorado Lieutenant Governor Barbara O’Brien wrote, “In BEing the Present, Pilar and Cynthia are conscious
about harmonizing their daily life with their core values. Finally! A book about the journey and importance of
creating a sense of ‘abundance’ moment by moment in our families, our communities, our work and our lives.”
