You are worth it!”
—MJ Ryan,
author of Attitudes of Gratitude

—Sue Patton Thoele,
author of The Courage to Be Yourself
Praise for The Ten Things to Do When Your Life Falls Apart

—Marianne Williamson,
author of A Return to Love
“What if, during the worst times you can imagine, you felt a warm and steady hand on your back guiding you forward? What if it helped you remember to turn toward what can be possible instead of against yourself or away from what you are afraid of? This book is that hand. Read it and you'll live better.”
—Dawna Markova, PhD,
co-creator of Random Acts of Kindness
Praise for The Future of Love

author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
“Deeply insightful and daringly fresh, this book takes a breathtaking step away from tradition and into the possibility of saying yes to the true and grandest desire of our being: to love fully.”
