Quote by Keisha Blair

“The truly unexpected response to the first edition of the book gave me the courage to expand the lessons to include more about the art of recovery from disruption, to explore more deeply things like how we can develop the assets that truly sustain us through life's inevitable suffering and heartache, what lends us resilience when we face hard times, and what allows us to renew ourselves after a setback so we can keep moving forward as we forge the life we want - even if it doesn't look the way we once thought it would.”

“Halley had become England’s second astronomer royal in 1720, after John Flamsteed’s death. The puritanical Flamsteed had reason to roll over in his grave at this development, since in life he had denounced Halley for drinking brandy and swearing “like a sea-captain.” And of course Flamsteed never forgave Halley, or his accomplice Newton, for pilfering the star catalogs and publishing them against his will. Well liked by most, kind to his inferiors, Halley ran the observatory with a sense of humor. He added immeasurably to the luster of the place with his observations of the moon and his discovery of the proper motion of the stars—even if it’s true what they say about the night he and Peter the Great cavorted like a couple of schoolboys and took turns pushing each other through hedges in a wheelbarrow.”
