"Trish Whynot has a rare ability to crystallize life-changing epiphanies into a few words, i.e., 'Dream... it gives the heavens something to work with.' Every chapter in this inspiring book helps us take a fresh look at our beliefs and behaviors to determine whether they're serving or sabotaging us. It is a spiritual life-raft to help us stay afloat as we make our way in the world. Read it and reap."
~Sam Horn, Intrigue Expert and author of POP! and SerenDestiny

"What impressed me about Dr. Trish Whynot was her ability to see through the chaos of life's web and identify the root cause of any problem. She has the natural ability to see past the smoke screen of drama, chaos, and emotion and recognize the true origin of our physical, mental, social, and even financial issues."
~Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com editor

"It's rare for me to read anything twice, especially a self-help book about love and forgiveness, but the insights spill so easily and naturally from the page that the pages turn themselves. Rather than bopping you over the head, Trish's insights deliciously tickle those stuck spots to nudge loose bits of debris. Loved it!"
~Carol Bedrosian, Publisher, Spirit of Change Magazine
