Free and laughing – one woman’s experience

I was blown away to receive this e-mail describing the powerful, transformative effect that my book “Free and Laughing: Spiritual Insights in Everyday Moments” has had on this woman:

Hi Marguerite: I visited my herbalist, and i saw your book “Free and Laughing” displayed. i questioned same, but at the time was not inclined to purchase same as funds was low.

Days after, i travelled overseas and while at the airport, i visited the bookshop and there was the book staring me in the face…..recognizing that my trip would be boring and i would have some free time, i immediately purchased same.

Man was i blessed……i completed your book in 3 days….something unheard of from me who is not an avid reader….

i found your book to be easy to read and at a time when i was going through issues in my life it really ministered to my soul and has allowed me to have a totally new and positive outlook on life and what life has to offer me.

i am sharing this book with my friends as each time i speak to them about their negative outlook on life i make mention of something you might have mentioned in your book.

can i share a secret with you? Over a year ago, i had a relationship that ended on bad notes and it left me devastated and hopeless….i had given so much of myself, time and finances to this relationship and without warning the bombshell dropped to inform me that we were not compatible and he wanted out……i was not able to get over the hurt totally as i felt used etc…what affected me, is that the calibre person i made him out to be, i did not expect that behaviour.

When i read your book i was able to move on with my life and recognise that love is unconditional and it should not be tied to our expectations from the other party…..can i tell you that i have found myself loving the fact that i did all that i did and have moved on with my life….mark you….there are lessons learnt.

 

Thanks again for writing this book

I asked her permission to share her e-mail with others, and received this response:

No problem. i would also want to add that it has been causing me to reflect on my relationship with God and my wanting to even grow closer to him….it is helping me to love the unloveable.

Make of this what you will. I only know that I am inspired by her words, the shifts she is making in her life, and happy to have played some small part in it.
