Close to Om

In Close to Om I tell the story of meeting my husband Dom in a chapter called From Your Head to Your Heart. In it I say:

"To truly invite courageous creativity into our hearts and not just into our minds we have to be willing to move from stoic and academic to imaginative and visceral. Away from the kind of over-thinking that would have had me stuck at logic vs. love in my Dom story. Stepping bold Read more of this blog post »
