This book was written for those people who have attended a Lighten Up workshop or who have listened to the Lighten Up audio tape or CD. Its was designed to provide a year of guidance, inspiration and motivation as you undertake this transformational process of coming into a state of unconditional love of yourself.
In the beginning pages of the journal I explain the Lighten Up process, however, I do not explore it in depth or discuss all the reasons it’s important for each of us to love ourselves. I also do not go into the background of how Lighten Up evolved. The workshop, tape and CD serve those purposes. Therefore, this book’s value to those who are unfamiliar with the workshop or the recordings may be somewhat limited.
With that said, I offer and dedicate this book to the thousands of people who are empowering themselves through the Lighten Up process. So many of you have asked for a book of this nature, one that will motivate, inspire and serve as an additional tool on your journey to discovering the light that you are. Here it is—a book that is filled with motivational stories while providing a full year of inspirational support and simple, life-changing exercises that take only minutes to incorporate into your busy lifestyle (the journal entries are designed to take one minute a day).
I offer this book to you in love and gratitude and my hope is that is will become a treasured possession.
