But all she could think was: who will do everything if I don't? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set her on a journey to find the still, small space in each day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these pages Carolyn reflects on the eternal beauty that lurks within the present. Drawing from literature, history and everyday life, \u003ci\u003eHoly Is the Day\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of spiritual reflections that trace the way God's ever-renewing grace is a gift of the present.
