Amanda Cooke and Chloe Hope. If that’s not a dynamic duo there never was one. I believe REUNION SONGS will be a perfect holiday present for my wife. Pssst! Knowing it will arrive well in advance of gift unwrappery, I may “borrow” the use of same prior.

Thank you also Chloe for featuring this book in your post today. One can never toss too many life jackets to folks treading water a ways off shore. I’m prone to getting swept away by rip currents.

Oh Gary, blessings to you and your wife. What a fabulous woman. I would love to be in circle by a fire dancing and drumming with her. May she and the book become good companions to each other.

Nothing short of full agreement, Amanda. My wife has lived with a major mental health Dx for over half of her life. Since doctors have rendered services to help her remain stable, the med cocktails are terrible for her overall health. High cholesterol, weight gain, a noticeable loss of mental acuity over the 18 years we’ve been married, difficulty sleeping thru the night even with a CPAP. From being “helped” by doctors with her situation she nearly holds them in reverence. Sharing my “wisdom” with a certified red head only provokes her.

I believe REUNION SONGS will speak for itself. She has been a creator, with natural talent, since age six. Drumming by bonfires is big on her list. Dancing almost all night used to be her style, but her decline in health precludes that as well. My intuition from reading about the modalities you harness in daily practice and featured in RU struck a chord with me.

Many thanks!
