Abby Seixas is a grounded writer who offers a toolkit that is as deep and calm in experience as the listening heart she urges her readers to discover." --Julia Cameron, author, The Artist's Way "In this beautifully written and profound book, Abby Seixas shows us, step by step, how to save our own lives. Her wise and simple suggestions and exercises will?rekindle the power within you and free you to live your best life." --Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author, Kitchen Table Wisdom "In Finding the Deep River Within, Abby Seixas gives us a wisdom-filled recipe for living a soulful life. There is not a woman I know who wouldn't benefit from this valuable book." --Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series "Readers who . . . lament their lack of time will find themselves engrossed within the first few pages of [Finding the Deep River Within] . . . Seixas's accessible prose and the slow, lasting journey she advocates are welcome in light of the many self-help books that teach us to snatch moments of rest while still keeping on the go, go, go." --Publishers Weekly "Seixas's program is a practical antidote to our culture's obsession with having--and doing--it all." --Ladies Home Journal online
