"Peace Dreamer is beautifully crafted,down-to-earth and from the heart. It is filled with inspirational wisdom and solid tools that helped me answer the questions, "Who are you and what kind of world do you want to leave behind?"

As I read this book, I took notes and used the deep questions and the journal inside to think about my core values, dreams, philosophies, biases and prejudices. It helped me become clear about how I could bring more peace and love to myself, to others and to the world. It also gave me the gift of optimism, and I especially loved the author's warmth. It felt as if she were talking just to me. One of the quotes that made me smile was, "You are enough just for being, breathing, and trying to do better than yesterday. Acknowledge yourself and say, "I am enough."

The author's experiential activities on chakra energy balancing, positive affirmations and guided meditations (and much more!) were user-friendly, stress-reducing, calming and centering. I also loved her unique spiritual insights, perspectives and philosophy on the truest definition of peace.

Whether you are in a good place in your life, facing difficult memories from your past or dealing with present anxieties, you can bet on this book to lead you through your life one step at a time. I suggest that you use this book more than once to continue your self-discovery journey. "Peace Dreamer" will help you understand how to feel hope for yourself and for the world - no matter what."
