"Loving Who You Are is a breath of fresh air, a gentle reminder of simple, effective tools to take care of your precious mind, body and spirit on a regular basis. This book came to me at a time when I was burned out from full time caregiving for a family member who was dealing with a terminal illness. I was so grateful to be able to open it at random and find short, easy-to-read-and-do self care tools and messages that I could put into practice in a few minutes. These tools helped me uncover the energy and attitude shifts that I needed in the moment. The most important shift was to serve as a reminder of the importance of self care as a daily, ongoing practice." Alissa Lukara;
