I am delighted that you have continued on with your dream to write this book.

When I got home last night, about 8.45 pm, with what I had read from “Remembering who I am " resonating inside me, I set about preparing a brand new soup that I had never cooked before - Broccoli and spinach… recipe concocted out of my head, motivated by your self care, self-love practical suggestions.

Usually getting home late-ish like that, i might settle for a sandwich, a quick fix. This brand new soup however proved to be a winner.

And as I looked around my kitchen I was thinking of your words encouraging de-cluttering. Again here is a challenge you are setting me. And this morning after meditation, I was out walking at 8am, energized cause reading your book is a salutary reminder of how to take care of me and that reminder is necessary because, sadly, I can drift off, losing direction, getting busy busy, busy, forgetting my own “inner wisdom”.

Here I am identifying strengths in your publication - practical suggestions as to how each of us as readers might continue on our life journeys taking better care of ourselves each day, in creatively disciplined ways, without us becoming too critical and judgmental on days when our self care energies drift away.

Another strength in your book for me are the autobiographical elements - you share with us the readers some aspects of your story. The death of your brother you mention and your own childhood trauma you touch on. You speak of family dynamics. AND you speak of healing, Your speak of finding your voice, of empowerment, you convey to us many of the steps you have taken on your journey from the “dark to the light”. And you are still traveling. I appreciate your openness and honesty. This book “ Remembering who I am “ is grounded in your own“ lived experience“ .
