A really warm book that isn't preachy and takes care to consider a diversity of people's backgrounds who may be reading this. Although I'm not one for incense meditation, I am keen to try some of her many ideas out to help ground myself and find pockets of rest and gratitude in the day to day.
The book started well as I particularly enjoyed the first chapter or so. However, it took a turn, which didn't appeal to me. I completed the book to see if I could connect with it again, I didn't.
