She develops positive relationships with children, youth, and adults! Now, her written word leaves me thinking about how to discover more about myself and how I can improve! K. Lindstedt Gloria's blogs are insightful, thought-provoking, and positive. She has a mastery of language, examining a common expression, word, or emotion and relating it to everyday life. I always feel uplifted and a little wiser after reading her words. I highly recommend this book. J. Fox, Retired Minister It is easy to relate to. Stories make me smile. Thoughtful questions. Insightful stories. It is an excellent companion for pushing my mind forward or directing me to think reflectively and creatively. E. F. Kandell, Esq., Professional certified mediator Every high school and college student should read Dr. Vanderhorst's book and think and write in response to her prompts following each essay. Each short essay starts with an easy and practical situation that all humans face during their lives. Your Mental Storage Locker, for instance, begins by talking about the physical clutter and junk we accumulate and then pivots to encourage the examination of trauma and early memories. All the essays use excellent analogies that prompt deeper exploration. This book is akin to mental dental floss!
