There's a lot of talk about spirituality these days. These are the questions I wanted to explore when I decided to write Respecting the Soul . I think anyone can pick up this book and learn something about themselves, about others, about race and sexuality. All you have to do is be open to the experience. Well, I should say upfront that this is not a book of affirmations.
Some entries focus on our history, while others talk about inspiration.
Some entries might not inspire the reader at all. It's really designed to get people to think first. I wrote in the introduction to the book that affirmations don't work if you just repeat them everyday. Instead, you have to really believe what you're saying and then live it. As with any form of inspiration, you will get out of this what you're willing to put into it.
