TRAVELING HOPEFULLY

The five steps to living freely are clear enough: Accept your past so you can direct your future, link internal clarity with external action, recruit a support squad, create a roadmap with goals, and move toward what you want and away from what you don't. This is a recovery audio, which is not a bad thing. The author's own poignant story shows that almost any bad experience can be put in its place. Her high voice is tolerable, but her excessive emotional enthusiasm is not, especially for audios in this genre. Overall, the program is saved by her refreshing clarity about personal responsibility and her many useful suggestions for getting past family loss and trauma.
