Any place you open this book will provide you with opportunities for growth and healing. This exquisite book of meditations gently directs the reader to see the gift of self in an entirely new and beautiful light. It presents a spirituality of self-love not based on narcissism, but as a response to the divine invitation to self-nurturing. "My hope is that this book can serve to remind us that loving ourselves is the link between loving God and loving others, and it is for God\'s sake that we do all three." From the New Preface to this edition
