"I am a resident of Sandy Hook and a Newtown teacher. After the recent tragedy that rocked our community to its core, I searched for support and healing. As I often have in the past, I drove to the Berkshires and made my way to Kripalu to the bookstore where I found your book, In This Moment...the little book of emotions. It has been such a source of inspiration and strength to me, my family and my fellow teachers. My husband jokingly referred to it is my "magic eight ball" since it seemed to provide just the right words needed in any particular moment. "
-Julie Schull, Newtown teacher
This lovely little book was given to me as a gift at a point in my recovery from breast cancer when I needed all the help I could get! I still open it just to any page every morning and it gives me inspiration when I do my daily affirmation.

"I have my Little Book in my bag with me and so enjoy picking it up and thumbing through it when I'm waiting around somewhere. Already it almost feels like having a friend quietly along side me during the day."
-Kate Nicholson
Massage Therapist & Yoga Instructor
Thank you for creating this awesome book! I am currently undergoing cancer treatment and it beautifully captures the shifting emotions I am experiencing, providing me with much needed support during this time.

"As psychotherapists, my colleagues and I love "In This Moment." We recommend it to our clients, particularly in times of illness or grief. It also serves as a lovely guide for daily mindfulness meditation."
-Steve Szopa, LCSW
"I want to thank you for this wonderful little book that you have created. In This Moment can help to guide us to living in a state of greater freedom and harmony. The passages you have written and the pictures associated with each emotion can help us to acknowledge, witness, feel, and release emotions that no longer serve us. We can recognize that all emotions are part of our human experience. Then we can choose to let these emotions go. And in letting go, a new space is created for peace and harmony and love to fill our beings . All emotions have a divine purpose. They are there to teach us and help us grow as human beings, as spiritual beings.
We can then be In this moment , live each moment in greater harmony and love."

"I've been meaning to write an official Thank You for about a month. The little book has found a home on my bedside table. I pick it up daily and open to a random page and like magic the passage I read is always the one I seem to need most that day. Thank You, Sandra!"
-Mary Steingreaber Olson, Burlington, Iowa
"They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Reading through this wonderful treasure of a book gives me images of peace, hope, love and serenity every time I thumb through the pages. It is a great collection of cathartic reading."

"I have read IN THE MOMENT several times and each time after contemplating a thought, I feel quite relieved and eager to continue my path. Thank you for sharing this book with me."
-Phyllis C., Tucson, Arizona
"Many of us were not ever taught about our feelings nor were we taught to acknowledge them. This treasure of a book exemplifies the importance of doing just that in a sweet and simple way that touches the heart and allows for clarity and healing. A great gift for oh, so many people!"
-Cynthia Atkinson
Energy Medicine Practitioner
I purchased this book because I was struck by how accurately the photos illustrate, and quite often, elicit the associated emotion. As it turns out, my family is using it as an "Feelings Chart". When we're discussing our day, or a challenge, or any occasion where emotion is rising to the surface, I'll hand the book to whomever is speaking and ask them which emotion is applicable. It seemed a little silly at first, but it actually helps my kids, and my husband and I, to more easily access what we're feeling. "In this moment..." is kept on the kitchen table and is having a positive and healthy impact on us all. Thank you!

"This year,as part of our annual employee Holiday gift bag, we included 'In this Moment...the little book of emotions'.
As holistic health care providers, we believe it is essential to have awareness of our own emotional state when trying to help others. This book gives us all the opportunity to acknowledge and reflect upon our own feelings and then move forward in caring for others."
