  • "Wow. What a work of love and beauty you've written. I'm excited to know that the lives of your readers will most definitely be more inspired and spurred into self-love and self-discovery because of the work you have done and the love you've put into this book. Your tone is warm, engaging, honest, and easy going, and it's clear you care not only about this topic but about each one of your future readers and their journeys too! On a personal note, I don't know if I've ever worked on a book where I found myself nodding almost every other paragraph and saying, "me too!!" From your feelings of safety in small places to trying every crafty thing imaginable to rearranging furniture just to satisfy that urge for MORE. I can easily say that YOUR book has helped me on my journey, and I'm just one of many who will encounter your words. Thank you—genuinely, thank you—for sharing your journey with me."
