Letters From Love with Elizabeth Gilbert

This is heart work

I have loved Liz's work as long as everyone else-since "Eat, Pray, Love" became a worldwide sensation-but her Letters from Love have changed my relationship to myself. After learning about this practice, I put it into place for myself and I cannot believe how much more compassion and understanding I have for myself! She is a magician, healer, and spreader of all things good in the world. ;)
