On the recommendation of a respected friend, I ordered this book.

Well, first and foremost, I was taken by Ms. Ross's salt-of-the-earth wisdom and power. Her words come from a place of deep knowing and authenticity, and I knew from the first page I was in trusted company.

When I read her book, I feel as if I am spending time with a brilliant, quirky teacher: the stories and insights spill out willy-nilly. There is a stream of consciousness quality to her writing that I love... and I sit here, ready with an imaginary catcher's mitt, to collect as many gems as I can. She never strays into what I would call "hooey-booey" esoteric gook. I appreciate that.

Ross offers innumerable techniques - simple and effective - to use when one is in a bind. So I keep this book handy as a reference. WIthout fail, it gives me that shift in perspective or hit of inspiration I need to push me through to the other side of an issue. At one point in the book, she speaks about how beneficial it can be to just hit on a drum. I never would have thought of that - but you know, when I'm feeling blue or anxious, it works! See - so simple.

I recommend this book to so many people. When you come to those moments in life and wonder "what do I do now?" you might well find the answer in this book, and it won't be the answer you expected. How refreshing. This book is my secret silver bullet.

Merrie Lynn Ross has delivered us an important book. While we have heard it all before, we need reminders. This book is a fun, easy read. We get in our way all the time but through some of the helpful suggestions we can turn on the switch to a more positive and enlightened perspective. Today's world is full of constant reminders of suffering, loss and devastation. We are far more effective as parents, teachers, leaders, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, lovers, friends and whatever role we find ourselves in if we put a positive and wise spin on our approach to life. Thank you for this terrific book! I wish you all success with it.

The timing was perfect for her wonderful message in all it's jouful variations to enter my life and assist me with my own 'landing'..She artfully weaves the wisdom of the ages with the generosity of her personal journey in a meld of encouragement and direction that moves one without effort..i used it as an oracle from the moment i held it in my hands and found it to be an ideal "Delphi"..it's like perusing a spiritual and self actualizing cornucopia..laden with riches.To say i enjoyed it immensely and recommend it to any one on the evolutionary path is an understatement! if ever there's a fire in my home this book will join my jewelery in the emergency bag..my heart is sincerely lighter after traveling on her merrie way..blessings merrie lynn..

Merrie Lynn Ross and her book, Bounce Off The Walls - Land On Your Feet, are "all heart". As Merrie Lynn decorates components of her book with "heart graphics", she is literally mirroring her own "heart-self". Merrie Lynn is the epitome of inspiration, hope, perpetuating life in its fullest with an effulgent and contagious energy. This book covers all aspects of accepting and appreciating life as it parallels spirituality and encouragement with "all heart". Thank you for this valuable "living reference book", Merrie Lynn.

I could hardly wait for this book to be released. I knew that Merrie Lynn Ross was coming out with this book because Chapter 13 is dedicated to my incredible recovery and life approach. So, when I first got the book I went straight to Chapter 13. While I was reading it, the memories came back to me even stronger than the first time when I was being interviewed, confirming how lucky I am and how much I am able to talk about it without being "shy". After reading the entire book I realized that I was not alone and I am forever grateful that this "accident" happened to me, the scars are only the reminder of this journey, the jounery where all of our paths will cross some day...Thank you Merrie Lynn for writing it in such an inspirational way. With this book next to my night table, I will never have any sadness, bad thought, doubts, suspition, boredom, anxiety, nervousness and impatience anymore.
There truly is a blessing light right in front of you!
With my upmost respect,

I absolutely found this book an answer to a prayer. (I purchased it back in November and read it over Thanksgiving.)
You see I just returned from spending a week with my very ill Mom... two months ago she had fallen and broken her hip. She did well in rehab and came home ahead a schedule. About 3 weeks ago she took a downturn for the worse. By the time I finally got there, she was down to 100 pounds, drugged up on pain meds, sleeping pills, and anti-depressant medicine. The atmosphere in her home was so sad, as if she was near death.
I re-read several passages of Merrie Lynn's book and realized I had been absorbing my Mom's fear and negativity. An immediate shift happened. My attitude had changed...a heavy weight lifted. And from that point forward my Mom also had a shift and her attitude got better. She became more focused and even her appetite improved. Fear had disappeared. Love permeated her room.
I am so thankful to have learned the concepts in this book and to get immediate results from them!!!
Having this book is as important as having a first aid kit!!!

It's the book we need, but till now has not been written. 'Bounce Off The Walls, Land On Your Feet' had me at the title, but oh, there is so much more...

If ever there was a recipe book for life, this is it. Not only do the tales and memoirs teach lessons to touch the soul, but the insight and sage advice will haunt till it smacks you upside the heart.

Merrie Lynn Ross has experienced a life that well qualifies her words. From a young actress who chose her career path wisely, to that pioneer journey which positioned her as daytime TV's first comedienne on the top rated show of the time, and then finally to her most important role ever...Mom to a special and unique boy who left us much too soon--but whose vision, heart and soul live on through the Merrie Way Day foundation.

These pages are a gift. Each reader will find his or her own piece to embrace and ultimately own. And no--this is not a marathon of cute proverbs and sayings, nor are the chapters a hodgepodge of self-indulgent rants. Not even close.

Rather, Ms. Ross has put together a comprehensive and highly entertaining snapshot at what we already know, but beg to open our eyes and see.

As a business owner, I was particularly touched by her take on "Showing up," and a profound view of networking. As a parent, her shared private moments with Byron (her son) shook me to an awareness of my own action (key word) or inaction with my own children.

And finally she has a way to kick my complacent butt with prodding direction toward love, relationships and the lack thereof.

In short, this is the book that has finally been penned. By the right person.
