Beautifully written and composed! Tovah touches on a myriad of important aspects in a thoughtful, digestible – ha ha – way for all of us to consider in our daily practice. Concrete examples help guide us to reflect on possibilities, solutions that we might not have considered.

Thanks as always, Krisi
