Two Short Messages

I have two short messages for today, that I want to make sure everyone that comes here, hears:

1. Ghosts of the Past, my book written with Rachel Morningvale, is now available for free in its latest edition, as a PDF download! You can find it in the link above for Ghosts of the Past.
2. Some motivation: no matter what happens, no matter what resistance you meet in life, keep going. You only lose when you give up. Let failure, even failure due to an impossible situation, teach you rather than diminish you. To quote Master Tora Taka, the head of the fencing school I’m a member of, “keep going! You have more in you than you even know!”
