REVIEW FROM “WRITER’S DIGEST”
Hot off the presses from Writer’s Digest is their review of Coming to Your Senses—Soaring with Your Soul by Sally M. Veillette (ISBN 0-9741854-1-8, LCCN 2003109641).
“This is an attractive how-to book for seekers of self-fulfillment. It is written by a bright and articulate author who is well-organized in her thinking, warmly candid and personal in her revelations, and both humorous and serious in exactly the right proportions. Her personal grasp of her very complicated belief system for achieving fulfillment is so thorough that she manages to reduce it to eight easy steps. She develops each step separately and extensively, yet she keeps the steps simple and connected as she moves the reader through the full complement. She writes as if she is an eager, cheering participant with the reader in this adventure rather than merely an instructor.
“I was particularly impressed with her emphasis on absolute honesty as a lifestyle trait and her rejection of any justification whatsoever for even the occasional ‘white lie.’ Her own personal honesty is evident in her writing style and adds validity to her message.”
