Relationships!
Everything is about relationships. How we relate to our partners, our children and families, our friends, our employees and customers, our bodies and our health, ideas and knowledge, our natural environment, God – indeed from the nano- to the macro-, it is all related.
My life’s work has been dedicated to the study and practice of relationships and how to make them inspiring. The success of an organization depends on whether its relationship with its customers is inspiring. Even more, it depends on whether its relationship with its employees is inspiring.
My latest book is about the most inspiring relationship of my life, the one I had with my soulmate Tricia who passed away in 2014. After losing one of my 3 daughters when she was 19, I never expected to live through such devastation again. My friend Arielle Ford has written a brilliant e-book called, Love on the Other Side, in which she points out that the French for “I miss you” is “tu me manque” which literally translates to “you are missing from me”. Over the last 18 months, as I have been picking up the pieces of my life, I have poured my heart into this new book which is a collection of poetry and stories about the 30 blissful years Tricia and I shared together.
It’s more than a book about a relationship, or even how all relationships could be, although it is both of those. It’s also a book about how important it is to relate passionately, and in a way that inspires, with every fiber of our being, in every aspect of our lives. When Michael Bernard Beckwith, Author of Spiritual Liberation read A Love Story, he said, “Far more than a book, Lance Secretan’s A Love Story is a realm of being, a dimension of consciousness pulsating in the hearts of mystical lovers which outwardly expresses as a blessing upon the world.”
I hope you will love this book – I have loved living it. It will be available at the beginning of December 2015.
I am certain this book will be read many times by me and my wife. I am also certain that there are so many others who will truly become inspired by this love story Lance is about to share. Without a doubt, it will be a book that will be a gift this holiday season that will be most appreciated, by both the recipient, and the giver.
I can’t wait to read it. You both have been such an inspiration to me in the past. I’m sure this book will be even more so. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Lance for being willing to take the deep dive into your heart and soul to bring forth what I imagine will be another book from you (and Tricia as I sense her spirit is very much alive in the pages you’ve written) to cherish and share with others. You have been and continue to be a source of inspiration and teacher of mine without knowing it as we’ve never met. Blessings to you! Namaste!
Many blessings and much love to you, Lance, for all you have done, and for sharing the deepest most profound parts of yourself with the world. You continue to inspire me. Through this book, Tricia’s light will continue to shine as a legacy to who she was (and still is) and the amazing relationship you two shared.
Namaste and Love,
Lynnea
Dearest Lance: I will be anticipating the joy and sorrow and inspiration that I will feel as I set aside a weekend to read your new book in December. Trish must smiling at you with love and pride for showing all that you can be.
Thanks so much Marie. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when you read it. You will have such delicious memories and be transported to such magical places. You will be sitting in Tricia’s arms as she whispers to you.
Dear Lance: Can’t wait to read your LOVE letter about Tricia! I thought of her on her birthday with such warm feelings, knowing that she is still a shining light in my life.
Hope you are enJOYing this glorious day
