The first to rate Tara’s wonderful book, what an honor. I have found so much connection to life, the real and raw, grief and love, deep wisdom as well as the simplicity of life woven throughout her words for years. I have traveled through my own grief with Tara’s writings accompanying me, always at the most synchronistic times, serving as a sweet balm for my aching soul. This book brought me from ear to ear smiles all the way to deep, heartfelt, tears. The best kind of journey from one of the most authentic souls to grace the earth at this time. It’s a pleasure to know you from afar and I hope to sit around that campfire one day.

This is a must read ... for too many reasons to innumerate. Someone told me that I could have written this book but I didn't realize why he thought that until I read it. Tara has put down in words experiences that closely parallel my own in many ways. Not all ways - of course - but in some substantial ways. Our values closely align as well - which is so refreshing in today's world. Thank you Tara ... even for the teary parts, of which there were many.
