"An amazing, inspiring and beautifully written book." Carol

"I found it a fascinating read, one that I will read again and would highly recommend to others. Elise

"Heart warming and beautifully written." Sandy

"Whilst I have read a few books on various topics in this book, I can honestly say that I found this one, the most easy to read and follow. A lot of books can be quite deep and too technical making them hard to understand, but this was a pleasure to read. I know I will pick it up and refer to chapters in the future when needing a reminder or to refresh myself on various topics. The book is laid out really well with easy to follow exercises in the chapters. This would be an ideal book for anyone starting their journey into self improvement." BB

"This book is a great read for those travelling along a spiritual path and for those who aren’t but think ‘there must be more to life than this’. You get to know the author as a real person who at times had quite some suffering in her life, but found ways to deal with these, and actually used those experiences to grow stronger. She covers many interesting areas in the book, it’s deeply thought-provoking. There are great sections throughout the book which allow you to stop and reflect on yourself in a kindly way and see where you are now in a positive light, and how you can move forward to greater joy in your life. I loved it and will keep to read again soon." Michele

Life has brought you to this moment. There is a part of you that is curious and wants to know more and find new ways of relating to yourself and to the world. Perhaps you’ve arrived at this point as the result of a difficult experience, such as a divorce, a personal loss or financial challenge. Or perhaps you just have a vague sense that life could be different or you want to find more meaning and create a life that is more in line with your authentic self, that I call the ‘True Self’. 

Life can be challenging and make huge demands on our time and energy, often resulting in high levels of stress, dissatisfaction and confusion. However, even with small changes you can start moving towards a life you love. This is a decision that you make and something that comes from the inside, regardless of your outer circumstances. Just making this decision will shift your energy from ‘no’ to ‘yes’ – yes to life and yes to passion, purpose and peace. 

This book will take you on a journey of self-development. Somewhere along the line, it’s likely that you absorbed the idea that you are not good enough. This message, most likely, came from your family, friends, teachers, media or society. If this message is firmly implanted in your subconscious, you may have turned your back on the essence of who you are deep inside and so find yourself moving into experiences of suffering. It is far too easy to get stuck in negative patterns and somehow think that this is normal. It is not. 

I will show you how you can move away from those patterns and into freedom and joy. How you can say ‘yes’ to your True Self and ‘no’ to any old, outdated, negative conditioning. Some people will find this transition easy and for others it will be more challenging. But you don’t have to do it all in one go. We will take it step by step and you can take as much time as you like on the various chapters and exercises. I recommend that you read the book right through from the beginning to end and do the corresponding exercises, as they have a logical sequence. I also recommend that you start a journal to record your journey so that in time you can look back and see how far you’ve come.

I have called the exercises ‘Reflections’, which implies that it is a good idea to take some time for the exercises and allow yourself to become immersed in each one. These practices will help you to:

• Clarify your current situation and understand your thoughts and emotions. 

• Understand your negative beliefs, where they come from and how to let them go.

• How to heal and get into the ‘yes flow’. 

• How to live a heart-based life and develop more self-love and self-acceptance.
