    About this ebook

    Randi had it all: love, a wealthy husband, cars, a series of beautifulhomes in Beverly Hills, jewelry, dazzling clothes, shoes to die for, thoroughbredracehorses, and another horse just to ride. So why wasn't Randi satisfied? What was missing? She was haunted in her dreams by a little boy, who was sometimes an infant, and sometimes a toddler, and always a cheerful angel. A psychic told her that she was destined to become a mother. The universe told her it was time to choose: wealth or motherhood. Randi took the challenge: she left her husband and moved to Santa Barbara, where she eventually remarried and became a mother at the age of 45. This book is a story of a dream fulfilled. It is also an account of one woman's search for the meaning of love.
    Grab Your Miracle tells the inspiring story of Randi's quest to know the meaning of love, which is also the meaning of life. She tells her tale with honesty and humor, a tale of celebration and regret. It has been an often bumpy road, fraught with disappointment, tears, and a few wrong turns, but the journey has been, and it continues to be, a profound blessing and a miraculous adventure

      Memory is a work of art in progress. I must confess that I may not have recorded everything absolutely accurately in this book. But whatever liberties I took were not meant to deceive anyone. I also changed the names of some of the people in this book, to respect their privacy.

      Introduction

      We all want to believe in the possibility of miracles, don’t we? Well, this is the story of the crazy journey that led me to the most amazing miracle ever! To my knowledge, I have but one life to live, and the living I have done so far has given me a story that I feel I must tell.

      Every woman is on a journey for love, and this is mine. This is the path that I set out on to love, a path that we all follow, each in our own way. This is a story of miracles, a story to share because we all have miracles waiting for us. It’s scary to trust the things we can’t see, but I’ve learned to trust the things we can feel. I trust, because I feel it’s true, that love awaits all of us.

      I’d like to be able to tell you that I planned this journey, and that writing this book was to be the final step in a well-organized itinerary. It did not happen like that at all. This book just kept writing itself. I just happened to be the conduit for the story. Once I started paying attention to what the universe was telling me, it was a matter of connecting the dots: a picture appeared, and my miracle started to make sense. All those dots were evidence of all of the miracles in my life. Ta-da—you have a family, you have a baby, you have a home, and you have all of these magical gifts.

      Becoming a mother was the most amazing gift, and the biggest honor that I’ve ever received in my life. In writing this book, I wanted to share this with the world. The world is really scary right now. If we stop believing in the little steps along the way to magnificence, then what do we have? I feel as if it’s almost my duty to tell people, Don’t stop believing in your prayers. Once I started on this journey to writing my story, things just kept unfolding and unfolding. You know when they say that you’re on the right path, really doing what you are supposed to be doing, you’re not even doing it, you’re just being it. That is what happened; once I started living my true life and trusting, it just kept getting better and better, my life kept getting more magical and more blissful and more fun every single day. But to get there, I had to scream and shout about it.

      The light and transcendence and freedom in writing this has been a release.

      You know the theory of pay it forward, the ripple effect, and so on. This type of phenomenon is real, so pass it on. Because if we keep pretending that we are not protected on this bubble, then we get scared and hide. Step out into the sunlight and grab your miracle. Believe in the possibility. Believe that it can happen for you.

      Prologue

      When I was eleven years old, my family lived on a ranch outside Mariposa, California. I was the third of four kids: Cheryl, who was fifteen at the time; then Debra Lynn, thirteen; then me; and last came my little brother Marty, age nine on the day he and I became blood brother and blood sister.

      We were already the best of friends, Marty and I, and people often thought we were twins, because we were practically the same size and we spent so much time together. Our two older sisters were growing up fast, and they spent most of their time inside our ranch house concentrating on becoming more and more beautiful and smart. But I was a tomboy, and I preferred the wild outdoors and Marty’s company. We didn’t have time to care about our looks or our studies. We were too busy having fun and getting away with mischief. We were explorers on the path of discovery.

      Guess what I got, Marty said to me that day when we were out behind the house, hiding behind the large outside refrigerator, which was always filled with Popsicles. He had that impish grin on his face.

      What? I asked.

      Lookit! He reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out two filter-tipped cigarettes and a book of matches from the restaurant our parents owned at the time.

      Where did you get those? I asked.

      They’re Viceroys. I took them from a pack in Dad’s pants pocket while he was in the shower this morning. He’ll never miss ’em. You and me are going to learn to smoke!

      As usual, I was up for any adventure, right or wrong. We lit up. Marty took a big puff, grinned, and let smoke waft out of his nose and mouth at the same time. Mmm, he said, obviously proud of
