Dolores Ayotte has such a gentle, humble manner in her writing, that it feels as if she is touching you and bringing her voice directly into your core. She opens with, "Thank you for teaching me all that I know today. By becoming the student, I was able to able eventually to be the teacher that I am today."Written from the heart, this book is the result of twenty-five years of juggling ideas in her mind. She suggests that healing is a lifelong journey, which she calls a healing circle, linked to more circles like a gold chain to be treasured. The first step in the journey is learning to love yourself; after that, the next steps become easier.Dolores encourages you to have a really good look at yourself, look into your eyes into the depth of your soul, to listen to the gentle philosopher that lives within you, and to cherish the gift of laughter. Her teaching is supported by lovely quotes from an extensive bibliography, quotes that enrich her message and anchor it in truth, such as "Love has two daughters--kindness and patience."Five stars.
