A book of comfort and courage

"Turtle Wisdom--Coming Home to Yourself" by Donna DeNomme is a book that is clearly written from the heart. There is a teaching that says, "What come from the heart, enters into the heart." Ms DeNomme peppers her book with wisdom from Native American teachings. She was voted Colorado's "Spiritual Health Guru." She survived childhood trauma so she knows first hand how to heal and rise. "You get... You!" is the theme that Ms DeNomme builds in this book. She teaches how to take care of your self along the way in the journey of life. The drawings throughout the book are sweet and whimsical. The author's words are encouraging and confident, sprinkled with a lighthearted tone. She shares thoughts and techniques as tools for life. Here is one technique I especially liked, quoted from the text: "Cancel! Cancel! Each thought, every action has a vibration and impacts our life experience. There are times when you think, say, or do something that is not aligned with your genuine intention. Be aware of what you put out there. When you express yourself from that `off' place, you can neutralize your faux pas. ... This canceling approach is not meant to be an excuse for you to say and do horrible things, thinking you can then cancel them afterwards. You are responsible for the way you interact with others. ... Cancel! Cancel! Is a quality control technique for conscious energetic living." ... It is an attitudinal shift." Here is another gem of wisdom the author shares: "Where you are right now and who you are at this very moment is absolutely unique and precious. No matter what may be happening in your life, there is nothing about you that is truly broken. You do not need to be fixed. There is a part of you, which always remains intact, unscathed. The healing is in bringing forth the part of you which is always well." This is a book that can help facilitate healing for the reader. If you crave the comfort, love, and guidance that's like a friend or sister whom you can curl up with, grab a cup of tea and snuggle up with "Turtle Wisdom".

Turtles offer life lessons!

Donna DeNomme's book is an eclectic mix of wisdom, encouragement and strategies for adapting and thriving when life gets tough. Quotes, poems, and particularly creative and amusing turtle drawings amplify DeNomme's writing. Her description of how one turtle adapts to protect itself from predators was especially informative, and had great relevance to the book's topic. A wonderful addition to DeNomme's work- perhaps as a follow-up volume- could focus on stories of how different types of turtles adopt to the unique challenges they encounter in the wild, and how their reactions to adversity offer lessons we can apply to our lives.

Strongly recommend....You MUST read this!

I do believe in Divine intervention and Turtle Wisdom was sent to me at this particular time. After raising four boys, leaving a full time career for a part time job, and seeing my body shift, fall and spread when I turned 50, the question "who am I?" keeps bouncing around in my head. From Turtle Wisdom, I gained inspiration, encouragement, guidance, and most of all -- me. The format of this great little book is wonderful. No wasted words, no reading through excess fluff to get to the meat of the subject. It can be read as a whole or in parts; by chapter or by topic. Turtle Wisdom is re-readable, perfect for beginning and / or ending the day. Turtle Wisdom is a must read for anyone who wants to embrace life. It is an easy read full of wisdom, quotes, and simple instructions for becoming YOU! Thank you, Ms. DeNomme. I anxiously await your next book, Turtle Wisdom: The Companion- A Motivational Playbook and the Turtle Wisdom deck of cards.

A Masterpiece of Wisdom

Turtle Wisdom is a masterpiece of compassion, wisdom, and insights into how to fully embrace, love and accept the many aspects of yourself. Donna's book provides a clear blueprint to living a peaceful life full of joy and meaning. A must read for anyone who is ready to turn their challenges into positive growth.
