Review

I loved this book. In this, her very personal debut memoir, Paulette Bodeman carries the reader on a roller-coaster life altering journey unveiling her own vulnerabilities, her engaging sense of humor and her profound love of life. Through the sharing of this story, its imperfections right alongside its triumphs, Bodeman embodies the most important qualities of a great teacher giving her students the truest gift a guru can give... the ability and the knowledge to tackle and best our own demons. ~Karen Keilt, Author of The Parrot's Perch

Sharing one's story with naked authenticity is perhaps the most sincere gift of love anyone can present. Paulette Bodeman offers readers "her story" without any glossy finish, soft lighting, or color touch-ups. She tells of descending into the darkness, climbing (sometimes clawing) her way out, and stretching toward the light of insight and wisdom. In these pages, a reader will find connection, inspiration, and motivation ~Professor Susan Moore, English FacultyScottsdale Community College

Bravo!! Paulette's book will whisk your heart away. She walks you down a path of pure life captivation, fully illuminating the very real human experience. She offers such a down-to-home, delicious, moving and inspiring compilation that equally melted and lifted my heart with each page. Enjoy this piece of art! ~ Laurel Inman, Life Coach & Founder of the Institute for Integrative Coach Training And Karen Keilts is The Parrot's Perch
