Cyndie Spiegel is a born storyteller–turned–writer. She is a beloved inspirational speaker, author, wife, kitten raiser and plant propagator. Her new book, Microjoys came from a time of months of Loss and grief which came at her in crashing waves, and she found it nearly impossible to surface for happiness, except in small moments that she began to call "microjoys" -- little bits of beauty or pleasure or unexpected light amidst the darkness.

The just in case excuse for holding on is a messy combination of fear and procrastination. We hold on because we aren’t quite ready to let go but we rarely use or enjoy the just in case stuff we keep. Take a look in the back of your closet, in the junk drawer, under the sink or in boxes in the garage or attic and it’s clear that just in case means never.
