Dear Suzanne:
After reading your book, Enlightening
Cinderella, I am amazed! How in the world could you have written
my life issues, dramas, and feelings before you had even met me?
As it has affected me, I am sure it will affect others that will
have the insight and intuition to be drawn to read it. Oh, how I
wish that someone would have given me the gift of reading this
"Cinderella" when I was a young girl! I know that you
say things come to you when you are ready for them, but this
could have provided a glimmer of the future, a small crystal
ball for me into the immensely baffling world of relationships.
This gave a whole new meaning to Prince Charming. My mental
picture of "him" will be forever changed. I cannot
wait to be able to give this book to both my daughter and my son
when they reach a point in their lives at which they can absorb
it.
Once I had the time, Saturday morning, and
really began to read it, I was engrossed. I could not put it
down. I identified so with this "fairy tale" that I
couldn’t wait to find out how my future would turn out. My
feelings ranged from sadness and tears, to an inner lightness
and hope. Whether right or wrong, I so internalized your story
writing, that I left the physical activity of reading and became
absorbed in the lessons of my life.
I have to admit the 1st ending was
very emotional for me. It is such a great fear for me, the loss
of that "happily ever after." I would love to see two
years after that ending! And maybe I will.
I recognized so many of the "Garden
Meetings" that I have had with you and our discussions, but
in this context they became so much clearer to me. What a gift
you have for reaching into people and illuminating their
strengths and gently directing them in their emotional healing.
I really enjoyed the journal questions and the points to ponder. My favorite line is, "Try
not to judge the process." There were so many pearls of
wisdom thoroughout and I would love to cut them out and blow
them up to past on my walls to help me throughtout the day. The
poems were so beautiful and so simply written, yet so intense.
Reading this book was such an emotional
experience for me. I felt that I had such a personal connection
with it. I do not believe that this is necessarily because I
know you or that I have experienced the same life lessons, but
that it is your ability to see so clearly into peoples’ lives.
You have a such a novel way of helping them sift through the
chafe of life’s daily pain and happiness and to illuminate
this strength enabling them to emerge with such an improved
sense of themselves, a greater self-esteem. I am certain it will
be that same experience for many others.
Sincerely,
Toni
