This is such a beautiful collection of poetry to remind readers to focus on the moment. I love the prayers, prose and poetry and the eloquent language in this collection. My
Favorites were “ lt’s all good.” I had to rewrite this tonight by candlelight. “Finish Every Day” is another favorite of mine that I like to regularly read. This is such a good soothing reminder to embrace the moment just as it is. ❤️
