A Gift of Love, Light & Joy!

Dear Mary, I cannot tell you thank you enough for your beautiful book and app. I purchased both today and as I was reading the book and scrolling through the app, my heart was filling with love, light, peace and joy!

I am a domestic violence survivor just very recently coming out of eight years of horrible emotional and psychological abuse. Your book and app are heaven to my parched and battered soul. Each reading and beautiful photograph is a balm to me.

Through your book, I'm learning how to love myself and others again through love, light, gratitude and joy. I am ever grateful to you for these gifts through your creativity and generosity to share these gifts with the world.

With new love, light and joy in my heart,

Beloved Bree

Inspired and Empowered by this Daybook

I’ve just read through the Introduction to Every Day Spirit and already feel truly inspired and empowered about the possibilities that my life can hold for me. The clarity that Mary’s words have given me from her beautiful and brilliant thoughts of love and encouragement are amazing! I certainly am inspired and excited to read on to make her “Daybook” my own. This is just the help I was looking for to get myself on track and moving forward with my life in a bigger more creative and meaningful way. Thank you, Mary, along with your daughter and all those who have inspired and strengthened you, including your precious “Tiny Guru!”

Today is December 31, and I've just finished this beautiful day book. I'm not sure what I expected, but I know what I really appreciated when I began reading. Mary Davis is not preachy. There is no judgment. There is only love, spirit, peace, and perspective. I bought this book for my mother and sister as a gift. When I gave them the gift, I began to describe it and stopped when I started to say it "changed my life" because that felt way too big. Then I realized this book had changed my life. By reading every morning, I had a different outlook on the day ahead. I found myself referring back to my reading throughout the day to center my thoughts or calm my mind. Changing your thoughts and perspective is life changing. If you're seeking to find hope, peace, or perspective in your day, I highly recommend it!
