I was extremely motivated to communicate the impact of your book. As a business owner it is refreshing to hear your message. Success is always a goal, but so many times it’s a milestone lost during the journey. When we pause to understand your words, practice gratitude and reframe expectations, it reminds all of us that only our individual definition of success will sustain us.

Thanks again for providing me with a copy of your book, Stepping Stones to Success. I read your chapter and I am grateful you wrote it. Your interview addresses core issues with examples I could easily visualize or relate to my life. Your suggestions of actions were simple enough that I could imagine myself doing them.

I finished reading your chapter and I was really impressed. There are so many beautiful portions in the interview. And your life is sprinkled throughout, which I found to be joyful reading. I particularly liked your definition of spirituality: “I understand spirituality as an individual’s sense of peace, purpose and connection to others, as well as one’s belief about the meaning of life.” Much of what you say as a life coach is helpful and useful and I think people will find it to be a valuable contribution.

After reading your chapter in Stepping Stones to Success, I saw so many examples around me of people struggling with Life Balance. Your discussion of Life Balance really made it clear for me: ‘Sometimes when we are having problems in our mental, emotional and physical aspect that can be a signal from our spiritual aspect that we are out of balance with the Divine Origin that creates the harmony of all things in the Universe.’ I also want to thank you for the reminder that gratitude can be a stepping stone to open the channel of forgiveness.

You could count on one hand how many times I have sent an e-mail like this to an author after I edited his or her chapter. I just wanted to let you know that your chapter is one of the most enlightening and inspiring chapters I’ve had the privilege to work with since I came on board here at Insight Publishing in May 2005. I have always been a person who practices gratitude, but not as often or in as much detail as you described. It makes total sense to follow the steps you outlined.
