• Readers' Favorite "Let Shelley be your guide out of the mindless rat-race and in to the mindful world of happiness, focus, and success. She demystifies the often over used term, “mindfulness” and provides an entertaining, easy to understand, and easy to use process to untangle our thoughts and give us clarity on our daily and long term goals. This book is a must read for any one who is serious about taking back their life."
• Michael Houlihan & Bonnie Harvey New York Times Bestselling Authors The Barefoot Spirit, The Entrepreneurial Culture Co-Founders, Barefoot Wines "At some point in life, we all board the self-discovery train to make sense of this often chaotic world filled with endless tasks and expectations and embedded with frustration and self-doubt. Shelley’s work offers a fresh, funny and actionable perspective on mindfulness to help re-PURPOSE our lives while giving insight into us finding our own authentic path forward. The path starts with mindfulness and a genuine sense of humor!"
