Before the book was in my hands I wanted to love it -- but wanting to love a book has not made it so, in my experience. Once I got it, I let it languish for over a week because I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my hopes.

As a relatively new convert to self-care, I found quite a few fresh ideas for personal wellness and nurture. A real treasure to keep or to share with someone dear. ( )

Especially usefull for women who are stressed and need help nurturng themselves in unexpected ways. I recommned to all my stressed friends and relatives. ( )

I read this book several years ago, and found it to be filled with nice ideas for pampering oneself. I never actually did many of them, but there are lots of good ideas here. ( )

This is a neat little set of exercises designed to help women unwind, connect with their inner wisdom or nurture themselves. I don't think I have ever formally done any of the exercises, but just flipping through the book usually provides some relief, and inspiration for what might be helpful. I especially like the index where you choose what you are feeling, like stressed or jittery, etc., and there are suggested exercises in the book to look at. A nice resource, if you can make time to do any of the exercises. ( )
