Blair Steelman weaves an inviting tale that does a magnificent job in answering the question: “what” to do. His work comes from his own powerful search: “All I knew was that I couldn’t continue to live my life feeling the way I did. I had to do something about it. The question was, “what?” "....There is one important point to remember. No writer, sage, guru or teacher can provide more insight into our lives than we can for ourselves when we begin to tap into the limitless resources of our own inner depths. Moreover, life, true, abundant, profoundly fulfilling life, does not begin until we come to this realization and take the steps to awaken to the persons we really are and transform our potential into our reality." Producer and TV interviewer, Phyllis Haynes writes: “Blair Steelman is a gifted thinker and writer. His ideas come from a life lived fully…not from a pristine mountain top.” Blair Steelman has spent a lifetime in leadership positions; first, as a pilot in the Air Force leading crew
