Since spring is right around the corner (hopefully), I have chosen a book for this month that exemplifies transformation and renewal. Author Donald Miller is a master storyteller-and brings this gift to readers in the new edition of  Hero on a Mission: A Path to a Meaningful Life. Miller asserts that all of us are living a story. Some of us live stories that are filled with meaning and fulfillment, and others feel as though someone else is in charge of the plot, storyline and the ending-and they aren't doing a very good job. Miller points out four types of characters we play in our story and how to identify when we are playing the victim, the villain, the guide or the hero. When we see ourselves in a different role, we can change the trajectory of our plot and create a deep sense of meaning in our daily life. The book comes with a "Hero on a Mission" daily planner and guide to a simple life plan to help get you started. In other words, there are no excuses! Happy reading and happy writing!

Meet James E. Willis, author of many books on ghosts in Ohio and founder of The Ghosts of Ohio! We interviewed James, also known as Weird Willis, at this home and he shared some fascinating paranormal stories. He is certainly an expert on ghost-related subjects and has over 40 years of experience investigating the paranormal. He sometimes jokes that his job involves him being part researcher, part investigator, and part counselor. Many of his clients over the years come to him incredibly distressed over the fact that there might be something “unexplained” happening in their home—a place that is supposed to be safe. He says that, “Reality TV shows, with their warped perception of what a ghost is (and can do) certainly hasn’t done anything to lessen the stress.”  

Check out his books and listen to the interview when you get a chance!
