this book is a mirror held so close to my face, i cannot look around it.

erin is a door opener.

she says, “if i can do it, so can you.”

she opens the door to a place i don’t want to go, the place within, through the dna and the cellular memory into the heart, my home.

this book is a mirror held so close to my face, i cannot look around it. instead, i will journey within as erin mentors the triumphant divinity of love of self.

this book is a river — undulating, turbulent, buffeting, deep, unexpected. then, i am near the surface where the light of the sun warms me again. here, i rest and trust in the supporting flow as i am carried home.

thank you erin for your authenticity and faithfulness to yourself.

you are indeed a shining light.

i honour and treasure this living collection now and always.

i aroha nui me rakimarie.
