“Dr. V shares with us her insights on topics from iced tea to art, holidays to hummingbirds, baking to daffodils and invites us to join her in reflection at the same time leaning forward as we write our own thoughts. A very accessible book benefitting individuals and groups. And who knows, maybe even sparking conversation for family conversations!”
“A guided journal that makes you think and explore with interesting stories and prompts. Unlike a blank journal or a self-help book this is an interactive two-way street that helps you go deeper and have a little fun along the way!”
“The stories were engaging, and even when I took a break for a while, it was easy to pick it back up and continue at my own pace. The journaling prompts are thoughtful and have made me more reflective about my own journey. It’s my goal to get through all the prompts this year, and I’m excited to see the growth that will come from it. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for something meaningful and easy to dive into whenever you have time.”
“Gloria Vanderhorst drops pearls of wisdom with simply-written stories, just a page or so, that invite the reader to relax and reflect. Don’t let her Ph.D fool you– there’s nothing too heady or academic to the questions she evokes. Her insights seem to stem as much from her learnings from others’ stories (through decades of therapy practice) as they are from her own life. I like to pick it up from beside my bed (and put down my phone!), open to a random page and just chill with it before falling asleep. I highly recommend this!”
Whether you’re a parent, therapist, or lifelong learner, the books by Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst offer practical wisdom.
