Book Description

Publication Date: January 27, 2005 | Series: Questing

Marilyn takes her readers along on a very personal Quest to sacred and historical sites in England and Ireland. She sheds her personal and professional responsibilities and confronts how what she was taught to believe influences her life as an adult woman.

Visiting Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury, Bath, Tintagel, Kilkenny, Dublin and other favourites of holiday-goers, Marilyn takes time to look inside herself and objectively at her life. She isn't always happy with what she finds. Marilyn reveals how she applies the life skills she teaches as a therapist into her own experiences.

Throughout her Quest, Marilyn confronts past negative teachings that have kept her from achieving her desires. When she focuses her energy and is true to her Self, she creates a plan that allows her to explore places from a unique perspective and to experience deep joy and personal satisfaction. The changes in her energy bring new experiences into her life that might appear to be coincidences. It is the natural process of creation that allows the results to appear in unexpected, rich, and marvellous ways. You can be right there with her and feel the transformation. Share the surprises.

Review

This self-help book takes you through feelings we have all had and puts them into perspective. What made it exciting reading was the travel tales. What a bonus! Thank you Marilyn for so much insight.
--Christine Bailey profilecoaching.ca

Questing Marilyn opens the world of personal growth to people who know that they feel different when they return from a journey yet have no words to describe what this feeling means. --Susan Birkenshaw, Travelling Maverick, Toronto, Ontario Canada

From the Publisher

Marilyn takes her years of experience in working with individuals, couples, families and groups, and weaves her methods of assisting her clients into a very readable story.

Marilyn's skill with words and open sharing of her thoughts and feelings, assists the reader in exploring their own thinking. The reader will question what they were taught to believe about themselves, about the ways to live their lives and more about what to expect from other people.

Stepping outside the norms of life, putting together a creative presentation in book form and challenging readers to not only read the book but react to the unexpected, makes this a challenging and thought provoking experience. Questing Marilyn is candid, inspiring, thought provoking, intensely personal.

This book was well written and I really got my emotions involved with her thoughts and feelings. I found myself very much with her...on her travels.

I really enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down.

So much of what Marilyn went through was a mirror image of my life. I was also brought up to please, to be the peacemaker and responsible for things going smoothly. Deep down I always felt something was wrong with this picture but until middle age was unable to see clearly.

Marilyn is a very strong and courageous lady and I admire her openness in allowing us to view the steps that led her to the point she is now. I learned a lot about myself from her book and suggest that any woman over 40 would garner a great deal from reading this wonderful autobiography.

Thank you Marilyn. I am looking forward to your next book.

This review is from: Questing Marilyn: In Search of My Holy Grail-Personal Growth Through Travel (Mass Market Paperback)

Questing Marilyn was more like Questing Me! I am a singer-songwriter-actress, and so many personal issues and emotions of my own were addressed in her book. It was great to read about someone that experienced many of the same feelings I have had and also to realize that I was not the only one to be asking these questions. I can accept that I shouldn't understand the personal makeup of other people but why am I kept a secret from me? I have read many self help books and done a lot of work on myself, but this book answered so many of my questions. It also helped me see where things in my past fit into making me the person I am now. It was like getting a lot of personal counseling while I was totally engrossed in the exciting storyline. In fact, I kept holding off reading the last ten or so pages just because I didn't want the adventure to end. What courage it must take to allow readers into your personal life. I truly thank Marilyn for that because I found answers to some of my questions. I can't wait to read her next book. Thank you Marilyn for being so brave.
