This book has the capacity to change every single aspect of your life if you open yourself up to it and make the decision to reach for the highest inner possibilities that are within each of us. From start to finish, Deborah guided me along a path that she has walked with courage, honesty and faith, holding my hand, prodding me when needed, sharing her life, her innermost strengths, weaknesses, fears and shining triumphs, always with hope and a passion to heal, recover, find the very best that I could be and telling me how to find that "real self" hiding within. The author has been there, done that, and gently relates how her path can be your path. I too am "in recovery", a cancer survivor and have a passion for life which has been aroused and redirected by this book. This book is a daily reminder that life is not a spectator sport and that we MUST each moment regroup, redirect and focus our energies, sometimes gently, sometimes firmly towards finding our very best innerselves in spite of our weaknesses, our insecurities and our perceived lack of strength. The author truly has shown me that in spite of trauma, disease, fear, anxiety and low levels of trust we, with faith and hope, can have lives full of joy, peace, health, love and can indeed become whole, healed inwardly, and capable of going outside of ourselves once again and confidently rejoining the human race on equal terms with all people. The author has elevated living to a new dimension for herself and husband, and, in doing so has instilled in all readers of this book the ability, direction and means for elevating their lives and living out their own stories with compassion, strength, courage and love. Must reading for all who have any doubts, fears and insecurities about the events and direction of their lives and their future.

I was unable to put this book down! I wanted to laugh, cry and cheer throughout. The author is admirably honest, and writes about things everyone can relate to. Since I am a cancer patient myself, with an "addictive" personality, I was inspired by all she had to say. Each day's journal entry is cleverly titled with a song, hence "Letting Your Heart Sing." This is more than a "self-help" book. It's TV Movie material!

Re:My message sent to Oprah's Book Club and Oprah's Angel Network
I'm recommending Letting Your Heart Sing, a daily journal for the soul, by Deborah Tyler Blais .This is an awesome self help manual for all who are in need of spiritual renewal! Everyone should check it out, especially with what is happening in our World today! Maybe, using her daily action plan, we could even get the mideast region to stop fighting! Amen!
I believe it could help anyone, not just Cancer survivors! As a cancer survivor myself, I'm recommending it to all AA, and NA, OA members, or anyone who feels that they are not in touch with thier inner spirit! I've read it through once already and am preparing to go back to the beginning to do the daily action plan at the end of each segment! This should be required reading, and is a first class book to be listed by Oprahs' Book Club editors ! Deborah Tyler Blais is a cancer survivor and also a former drug user! Debbie's honesty and spirituality,coupled with her strong determination to overcome her weaknesses have helped her evolve into a very spiritually recharged person. She now is an accomplished speaker and writer! Deb's clouded past , with alcohol and drug problems consuming her and her husband Gary's lives , now have transformed them, and improved their relationship! This awesome self- help manual is a must read! It should be required reading for high school and college age students as well as adults! Anyone who feels that they don't know where they are headed or have hit a brick wall in their lives will benefit from and be helped using her renewal-of-soul action plan! Deb's spiritual renewal is uplifting and her practical daily action plans make it easy to follow!
A great book for the new millennium!

One of the most uplifting and inspirational books I've read. The author knows how to weave excellent stories from her own life experiences into threads of wise suggestions for manifesting one's heart desires thus making a brilliant tapestry of Wholeness. Truly, by the end of the book, my heart was singing!

This book was truly an inspiration for me to work on life situations in which I feel "stuck". We all have those little black clouds of doubt, or feelings of "I wish I had done . . ." "I wish I could do"; "I feel guilty about...". Debbie's book showed me how to go for my dreams, goals and aspirations I had put on the back burner as I got caught up in life's daily routine.

"Let Your Heart Sing" takes you through Debbie's own personal transformation and showed me how I can do the same. The book not only lets you see that you too can be what you want and do what you want in life; but actually gives you tools to accomplish this. Her "life lessons" imparted through Debbie's personal journey are creatively revealed via a vignette and a song title for each day of the year along with an exercise that you can do on your own.

Debbie's writing style is moving, creative and witty. "Let Your Heart Sing" has touched my life.

Deborah and I are fellow writers so I couldn't have been more happy when she told me her book was being published.She writes with great courage honesty and humor.Her tale of Dharma's effect on her recovery from her surgery is very moving. The miraculous way this tiny kitten triggered this whole story and the profound effect it will surely have on many many readers as it spreads far an wide.. is truly inspirational. You'll certainly want to get 2 copies so your can share this with someone you love.
