“Before you take anyone's advice, always look at the results they're getting. 

Debra Oakland is a radiant example of how to overcome some of life's 

greatest tragedies and triumph by living with courage of the heart. In Living 

In Courage she shares with you some of the invaluable practical tools she 

has obviously used very successfully in her own life and how you too can use 

them to reach your own peace and fulfillment.”

“To me Debra Oakland rocks. She is a very special person. Brave, 

determined and caring, all of which comes out in Living In Courage, a book 

we can all learn something from. I have only known Debra for a few months, 

but she has on more than one occasion supported and motivated me (kicked 

my ass!) to keep on doing the things in life that I have sometimes been 

afraid to try. By writing Living In Courage, Debra has used her special 

talents to bring the same support and motivation she has given me, to 

everyone seeking ways to live their life with passion and fulfillment. My 

advice to everyone is to try Living In Courage with Debra as your guide.”

Debra’s inspiring words have given me a much needed boost to remember to 

look within for my answers and to remember that everything stems from 

love. Especially self love. Taking that special quiet time for myself each day, 

I know will make a huge difference in my life.

necessary courage to overcome fear and limiting beliefs, to experience 

lasting joy, and to realize your unlimited potential. No matter how many 

times you read Living In Courage, you will always discover new wisdom that

“I have known Debra Oakland through most of the years when she faced the 

fearful situations she describes in her book. Her courage, and the courage of 

her husband Cody,  have been undeniable and inspiring. And a few years 

ago, when I was faced with a life-altering medical challenge, and was afraid, 

she offered her support and compassion and prayers to me. And I was less 

afraid, and I survived, and I am grateful. Debra does the things she tells us 

we can do. She knows whereof she speaks. If courage is contagious, Debra 

is a carrier. Her book is a valuable souvenir of times past, and a reassuring 

guide through times to come. Please read it; we will all be better for it!”

10.But today our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change. The large house in which we live demands that we transform this world-wide neighborhood into a world - wide brotherhood. Together we must learn to live as brothers or together we will be forced to perish as fools.

We must work passionately and indefatigably to bridge the gulf between our scientific progress and our moral progress. One of the great problems of mankind is that we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually.

~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
