This collection of inspiring quips and quotes was compiled by counselor Pat Mashburn over more than a decade. The author first jotted them down in her personal journal, which she referred to for strength during difficult times. As she incorporated the passages into her therapy sessions, she realized the true impact of these ideas. When a dear friend suffered a terrible loss, Mashburn was inspired to publish "LIFE: A Work in Progress" to provide others with the same enhanced awareness and enlightenment.
