And with gratitude, life does indeed become rich. I am deeply grateful to Bruce Singer for… this rich, humane, inspiring, and at times, humorous daily devotional.” -Robert A. Emmons (Professor of Psychology University of California, Davis) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa94ee485ede15b5773c371/1526658874303-D4H6Q7SR1Z348VM7IA24/juliesantiago.jpeg Praise “Black Duck Moments Every Day is an inspirational source of light for those living with chronic pain who feel that they are often times living in the darkness. In such a beautiful and supportive way, Bruce F. Singer provides daily affirmations to help those suffering tap into and embrace their own happiness and see beyond their condition. These black duck moments, as Bruce calls them, exist everywhere, but our pain and fear can block us from seeing what’s truly good in our lives. When we learn to tap into our own inner light, our consciousness shifts and we’re able to see and celebrate the true beauty in ourselves and the world around us. This book is an incredible companion for just that! These daily affirmations will leave you with a renewed perspective, appreciation and deep sense of compassion toward yourself and your journey of life. It's a must-have for anyone committed to living their best life!” -Julie Santiago (The Gratitude Circle) Author of Awaken https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa94ee485ede15b5773c371/1526658876044-0E9RT3CS4BTKQMLGEJ6T/shinzen.jpg Praise “At last, an entire book about an important and frequently overlooked theme: subtle can be significant. Deep transformation can come about if you bring enough concentration, clarity, and equanimity to the often-tiny positives that are naturally available even in the midst of immense negatives.” -Shinzen Young, author of The Science of Enlightenment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa94ee485ede15b5773c371/1526658876067-RF2IG6AQQMOHF9VA8BO6/Steve-Hayes-photo-optimized-for-WEB_1.jpg Praise “Our lives evolve and change when we experience new things, but not if we don't notice. This book asks us to witness the paradigm busting exceptions that arise each and every day, hidden in plain sight. It is such a small thing but that very fact is yet another "black duck." The seeds of life-transformation are all around you. Spend a year in a daily practice of noticing them and you cannot help but be changed for the better.” -Steven C. Hayes, Foundation Professor of Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno and author of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa94ee485ede15b5773c371/1526660929223-R56HCWMHXHJA9NMD4ECM/juliesantiagoframed.jpg Praise “Black Duck Moments” encompasses all of the issues that those of us with chronic illness live with every day, but with the unique twist of looking for the “black ducks”, those moments of relief, throughout each of them. Dr. Singer uses thoughtful and mindful insight to provide us with a daily reprieve from our common issues, simply by looking at them through a new lens. This way of responding differently to my pain has been a game-changer for me and these daily readings are a long overdue necessity for anyone wanting to live a happy and fulfilling life despite their chronic pain/illness. I’m officially a farmer of “black ducks” and if you live with chronic illness, you will most definitely want to be too. Fantastic! -Lauren Blanchard Zalewski (Gratitude Addict) https://www.blackduckmoments.com/bdms daily 0.75 2018-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa94ee485ede15b5773c371/1526665958190-11IQJO7ZAAAX52X189WM/image-asset.jpeg BDMs -
