After a tumultuous period of crisis, Victoria Price rebuilt her life by embracing a daily practice of joy, healing childhood wounds and reconnecting to the example set by her father Vincent, the famed actor. Her journey involved stepping away from externalities and into her fathers legacy his love for people and compassion for others, his generosity of spirit and simple kindnesses, his enthusiasm for new experiences, and his love of life.
As Ive gotten older, Ive come to understand that every day, in everything we do, we have a choice between expanding into our lives or contracting into our fears, into saying Yes! to life or saying No, Victoria observes. This intimate and inspiring book shares the lessons learned from a powerful family heritage of remaining curious, giving back, and saying Yes. Join her as she shares the stories, experiences, and lessons that led her back to her truest self, including her lifesaving daily practice of joy.

CONTENTS
CUTTING LOOSE
Sometimes from sorrow, for no reason,
you sing. For no reason,
you accept
the way of being lost, cutting loose
from all else and electing
a world
where you go where you want to.
Arbitrary, a sound comes, a
reminder
that a steady center is holding
all else. If you listen, that
sound
will tell you where it is and you
can slide your way past
trouble.
Certain twisted monsters
always bar the pathbut thats
when
you get going best, glad to be lost,
learning how real it is
here
on earth, again and again.
William Stafford
INTRODUCTION
THE ME IN THE MIRROR
O ne month before my 49th birthday, standing in front of the mirror in the tasteful dark slate-grey bathroom of my Santa Fe home, I heard myself say:
Youre doing everything right.
Youre in a long-term relationship with a wonderful person.
You live in a beautiful house in a city you love.
Youve gone a long way toward getting out of debt.
Youve begun a new career and already made a name for yourself.
Youve climbed out of a huge hole and pulled your life together.
You did it!
