Last Saturday, I sat with a coffee on a bench outside Quatermaine's and enjoyed about an hour and a half of reading Running on Plenty. That morning break was followed by regular respites of reading time during the following week. I confess to have skipped around and not even attempted to read front to back. Not my way. Yet, it didn't take long for me to run out of pages that had none of my highlighted markings on it.

This book is a solid contribution to my professional and personal life. The visuals are friendly and effective -- the key points, inspirational quotes, road to renewal signs, spaciousness, tailor-made graphics, soulful writing, practicality, and page after loving page of simple wisdom -- all satisfying and nourishing.

I appreciated how this book began, with both authors telling personal stories of learning first-hand about the importance of balance and renewal. Each story was poignant and something that anyone can identify with, I would imagine. It's a friendly, friendly book -- from colors to typeface to spacing to mixing of many inspirational and helpful lines from endless sources & resources. There is so much good work & research supporting what has been assembled and written, which is immediately apparent to the reader, that it had the effect of relaxing me --I knew I was in good hands, and that I was being enriched in ways that I needed.

One final observation that has stayed with me...when I closed the book and went to my car to drive home, and on the way home I noticed a very good, rich, dynamic energy in my solar plexus. It wasn't the caffeine because I'm strictly on decaf now. So, I know it was the stirring from the tone and gentle massaging of the stories, insights, resonance, and spirit of your book. That was a wonderful gift. It surprised me to have had an effect on my energy simply from the reading. I think that happens in the presence of beauty, goodness, and truth, which has been masterfully conveyed and honored.

This book has become an important companion, helping me to care for myself so that I can care more effectively for others.

Balance, balance, balance! We all talk about it but what have you done to balance your life this week? Here's the best answer between two covers.

Suzanne and Krista have done a fabulous job of providing all of us a practical guide for renewing and rejuvenating our bodies, minds, and spirits, not to mention also revitalizing relationships, creativity, and commitments.

Experienceing a lack of energy? Lost your motivation at work? Wondering what life is all about? Suzanne and Krista have given us a gift with Running on Plenty at Work. They provide us with not only a roadmap, but a calendar for what to do every week, and resources for every month of the year. They've thought of everything! And that makes it easy for you to find the balance you are looking for.

The book is jam-packed with tips, exercises, and practical advice. It offers new ideas and ways to look at your world, and it will remind you of all those things you already know but haven't found the time to do. Each of the 100+ ideas is worth the price of the book alone.

Don't hesitate putting this book in your shopping cart. You'll be the winner.
