Reviews from readers

"When I began reading this book, I wanted to read right to the end without stopping. This book contains so much wisdom and invaluable guidance for this dance of life. I love that the stories are accounts of practices that folks have found so helpful and want to share. This book is a blessing. Thank you, Kate, for the wisdom to create this beautiful amalgamation of heartfelt teachings."

"I loved reading the personal stories from a diverse group who brought different reflections of wisdom in how they respond to living in this 21st century. It was valuable to me to see this kaleidoscope of human resilience and hear how each person finds balance and joy and tips on how we can also explore these ways for ourselves."

"This is a great book to have on hand when you need some inspiration. I like that these stories come from people of diverse ages and backgrounds - it gets you to consider new ways of finding joy that may be outside your usual routine. Highly recommend!"

"I found this book very personal and easy to take in. I would recommend to anyone who needs an uplifting read, or a great gift. Brilliant stories and positive reinforcement for the modern human's journey."
