"Your book arrived here safely this morning. Not many books can literally pause one's breath -- yours does, and did so for me. I opened it and immediately looked at every page and every picture. Your balance of life and art is commendable, your photographs sublime yet ever powerful. I look forward to sitting and reading your story as well. I treasure your book; it has inspired me."

You are the best at somehow capturing awe and speaking of this Life in Spirit. It is an honor to know and communicate with the profound presence you bring forth in this world. Thank you for your priceless gift to humanity." --Lora
