5.0 out of 5 stars Focusing Each Day, July 26, 2000

This review is from: A Garland of Love: Daily Reflections on the Magic and Meaning of Love (Paperback)

As a single mother, it is sometimes hard for me to remember to love those who are most important to me, including myself. I use this book to give each day a theme, to remind myself what is important, and to not forget the little things along the way. Daphne Rose Kingma has written a book that is as much a collection of affirmations as it is a daily hug, and who doesn't need a hug each and every day?

5.0 out of 5 stars I was taught so many good pieces of wisdom from this book., October 7, 2003

This review is from: A Garland of Love: Daily Reflections on the Magic and Meaning of Love (Paperback)

This book was published in 1992, when I was in my early 20s. I read it from cover to cover repeatedly. It taught me so many good pieces of wisdom. I had forgotten about if for a long time, when I discovered it a few days ago. I love it all over again. Daphne Rose Kingma did a wonderful job of saying alot in a few words. Thank you so much Mrs. Kingma. I will relearn your wisdom from a perspective of being 11 years older. This book is very worth the cost and effort of getting it. I am sure it will teach you new wisdom to.

This review is from: A Garland of Love: Daily Reflections on the Magic and Meaning of Love (Paperback)

My wife and I have read "The Garland of Love" every day for the past 10 years over breakfast. We are both clinical psychologists (Imago Relationship Therapy) that specialize in couples and read from it before each therapy session with a couple to get ourselves centered. All our three copies are falling apart from so much handling. We recommend it to all couples and give it as gifts at all our friends weddings. We have sold or given away at least 100 copies.
