- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The most comforting book I have EVER read. Every single page made me feel like a huge cosmic mother embraced me into her loving arms just to let me know that who I am is enough, where I am is where I'm ment to be and what I do is enough. It reminded me that life is a journey of eternal discovery and not a bunch of goals to be accomplished. It made me feel that, no matter what kind of hardship I may go through, I will be okay in the end. I cannot express how grateful I am to have stumbled upon this book. Thank you Morgan, from the bottom of my heart!
