Introduction
Soul on the Run is the gut-wrenchingly honest portrayal of one woman's search for herself, and her refusal to continue playing the game of let's pretend everything is okay. What's more, it reminds us-when we are honest with ourselves-that we can start life over at any age. Korth's words are pithy and raw, sometimes almost brutal, and often just plain funny. There are commonsense insights into living life and a sometimes mystic questing into the hidden avenues of the human heart. To read this book is to journey into your own heart and spirit. The questions and comments of this woman's piercing search for joy and meaning will spark your own. You cannot read this book without becoming a participant in your own soul's journey toward life.

• “I can’t” so many times means “I choose not to.” Isn’t it more honest and easy to simply state this fact?
• What’s worse than dying? Never having really lived. Major, major mistake.
• When God knocks, it isn’t such a great idea to keep saying, “Wait a minute.”
• “Change” is a word that does its best work wearing a sweat suit.
