Our lives are enriched by the many seats that have been saved for us—both literally and figuratively. In this final book of the Is This Seat Taken? trilogy, IS THIS SEAT TAKEN? No, I Saved It For You––Inspiring Life Lessons from Everyday Experiences by Kristin S. Kaufman, you are invited to experience incredibly vulnerable stories where unmistakable wisdom is revealed through the “seats” in which people have been seated, from an empty bar stool at a high school reunion to the heart-wrenching transitions of those we love the most.

We are all part of an integrated, collective adventure. Kaufman's creative use of the term “seat” as a metaphor for our life journey shows us that each of the thousands of people who randomly cross our life paths help to create our unique journey. When we remain present to the seemingly incidental encounters and experiences in our lives, these moments can become opportunities for life-changing lessons.

Whatever seat you find yourself in, it is a precious gift of life. Everyday interactions, sometimes joyous and sometimes heartbreakingly painful, can all provide inspiring lessons if we know where and how to look. So please have a seat, here in the seat saved for you, and be open to what may be revealed to you.
