Open When: Letters to Lift Your Spirits

very well done

I have been a longtime fan of Karen Salmansohn, mainly because she is the "real deal" and is not embarrassed to admit that she HAS experienced everything she writes about, FIRST HAND. I have learned more from her than I have from speaking to professionals with PhD's and MDs, because she is so empathetic and non-judge mental. As a result, I always feel so connected to her ideas, especially bc of her use of down-to-earth language. I love how Karen doesn't use a filter when writing and many of her quotes remind me of things I wish I could say, but don't feel "ballsy" enough to say it out loud. This makes one feel understood and reassured to not feel alone, especially when you think you are the ONLY one with that thought pattern. I pre-ordered 3 copies of the book and bought 2 as gifts. Upon arrival, I gave all 3 copies to different individuals, who were grieving tragic deaths. I didn't have words of comfort for them, but the book did. They were very appreciative for that. From an organizational standpoint, I love the way that the book is divided by different feelings and you can go straight to a "specific emotion" you need support with. This is the type of book that every person should have at least two copies of in his/her home, AT ALL TIMES. One copy for yourself, and one for someone needing help and comfort immediately (similar to frozen chicken soup in your freezer, for when you or your neighbor get ill)❤ I do not like reading and yet I LOVE this book. I highly recommend it !✌️🌞🌟☀️💫

I purchased this product as a gift. It is an absolutely beautiful keepsake. Beautifully illustrated. Reasonably priced. Extremely well made. Highly recommend.

Lovely little book would make a wonderful gift.

I'm the 'wife' in the headline and had to write this review because I LOVE this book! I've always enjoyed receiving letters (not bills) and the tactile feeling of opening the letters in this book brings back the memories of letters past from my own dynamic mother. The simple letters contained in this book are concise and written with heartfelt wisdom summoning one's soul to reflect, and spirit to lift when...life hurts. The book has the resonance of receiving a letter from a wise and loving parent. I would highly suggest this book for anyone who needs a quick little boost. Thank you Karen for yet another uplifting book! LOVE IT! :)
