Well into middle age now, the ringleader herself of the Southern Ladies Mafia, Carla "String Bean" D'Andrea, guides her team of gorgeous and provocative renegades in one last stretch of treachery. Only after realizing the depths of their depravity does the team finally seek redemption. Reigniting one's soul for good rather than evil is a challenging climb for anyone. For Carla, it was her Mount Everest.

This third volume in the Proof of Life series further expands our outlook on and philosophy about being truly alive, as opposed to simply going through the motions. Doing the things and associating with people that bring you joy, from your family to your vocation and everything in between.Far too many Americans find themselves in debt and living in a dead end, working dull and sometimes extremely stressful jobs with no particular future. All of us can take at least a few steps in a better direction that will bring us far more satisfaction with our lives and those we truly care about. Being truly alive in our core and living life to its fullest, even under extraordinarily difficult conditions at times, is what binds us all together as human beings. We always have a choice between a life that no one will remember after we are gone and one that is filled with spiritual and emotional richness.

These essays reflect much of the essence of my life and thinking about what it means to exist on this planet. I hope they resonate with readers, as I put absolutely everything I had into them.

The author of this book took a very deep breath after writing hundreds of articles and several books over many years. It requires only a modest leap of faith by the reader. Specifically, one needs to go far beyond the narrow, legal definition of proof of life. While crucially important, it usually only provides some evidence that the person in question is still alive. In this book, I chose to go well beyond this definition and consider lives that are lead with life itself. We're talking about people who don't simply go through the motions and pay their bills. They pour their hearts, adrenaline, imagination, and a search for excitement on the table. So, dear reader, are you alive or really alive?
