Plentiful food for all the hungry—indeed starving—souls in our chaotic world today! REV. MATTHEW FOX Author of Original Blessing, Christian Mystics, The Tao of Thomas Aquinas: Fierce Wisdom for Hard Times
I WAS SURPRISED BY THIS BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL BOOK, which I will from now on keep by my side for comfort and inspiration. As a long time Buddhist, terms like "God" and "soul" are not so usual, but Karen's use of them in harmony with sayings of great mystics, West and East, gives them new life. And it is especially her eloquent affirmations of the divine as the life force and love force within oneself and every being that resonate with the buddha essence and the diamond clearlight of freedom that sustains our infinite lives. Enjoy this daring book of affirmations—once you get over worrying about feeling way better about yourself, you will find yourself happy at home in it! PADMA SHRI DR.
