Inspirational and Perspective Changer
“Reading this game a lot of emotions but the ones that kept coming back was thought provoking. This book allowed me to step back from my daily life and reflect on what things are going well and not dwell on everything going wrong. I often feel like motivational books tell you what not to do and try to change who you are as a person. Not this one! I was able to see myself in a better way after reading this and using the helpful guides provided in the book, I was able to focus on self growth and see a future where I don't always feel like the victim. When your done, I hope you're able to get similar epiphanies as I did. This is a great first book Ms. Black! I can't wait to explore my heart chakra through your other readings.”
