Poignant, beautifull, uplifting and inspiring story.

An amazing woman and storyteller. A Phoenix in human form, rising from the ashes of her tragedies toward a world full of adventures and endless possibilities.

Parables for life

I loved this audio book. Took me a minute to separate the fascinating story from the parables being taught. I even went back and listened to certain sections again so i could focus on the take away instead of the fun story of a mom and her son.

I now crave Captain Crunch and kite flying :-)

A brave and hopeful memoir, filled with teaching!

I loved this unique memoir and it was filled with surprises. I listened to it on a long road trip, and it was a soothing companion to the open road.

The bones of the story are about a mother and son who leave an abusive situation, travel the world and begin their healing journey. Throughout the travel story, it is peppered with lessons the author learned from her grandmother, Milton Erickson, Ki Aikido, her training, and other healing forces in her life. This story inspired me to travel more, and offered some helpful ideas about how to work with fear when traveling. There were also some wonderful practices weaved into the story about shifting attention and healing, and they have been incredibly valuable to me. Lastly, it was delightful to hear the author's real voice at the very end, during the coda. This is definitely worth a listen!
