“Beverly’s words are sensitive, thought provoking, wise, funny and oh so familiar. It is as if she were speaking through me, not to me. As a licensed Marriage, Family Therapist in private practice, I frequently recommend this book to my clients. Her stories are their stories and offer fresh air and insight in these intense, troubling times.”
Nancy Armstrong, MFT, Los Angeles

“Compelling and insightfu!: I read this book while on a long flight to the west coast, and I actually felt disappointed when the plane pulled into the gate…..I wanted to keep reading! Beverly is a brilliant and talented write with a gift for teaching through compelling story-telling. There were so many things in her story that touched me and that I could readily identify with, especially concerning our self-limiting beliefs that hold us back from BEING who we really want to be. I applaud her wisdom, courage, vulnerability and authenticity. Standing ovation!!”
Janet Podleski, author of national best-selling cookbooks
“A Critical and powerful book in the journey of self-discovery: One of my all-time favourite books on inner growth and self-knowledge as the means to discovering deep, lasting inner peace. The author expertly weaves together her insights and wisdom, as illustrated with her own life experiences, in a compelling and entertaining way. She challenges the reader to look honestly and deeply at the beliefs we hold to see if they are indeed serving to bring us joy or suffering. New levels of insight are revealed with each reading of this wonderful book. While the author doesn’t seem to describe herself as an Advaita Vedanta teacher, her style of inquiry and her invitation to simply look and see for yourself is reminiscent of Nisargattats’s I Am That and Ramesh Balsekars Who Cares.”
Charles D. Burgess, LLB
“Inspiring with Great Lessons: Beverly’s writing shines with insight, compassion and wisdom. This is the kind of book you want by your bedside to absorb at night before you go to sleep. We are so very hard on ourselves and often experience needless suffering. By letting go of those self-limiting beliefs that rob us of our joy we are then able to experience true happiness and love. This book is a roadmap to clarity and happiness.”
Sirah Vettese, PhD
“Unique, fascinating must-read: This is a unique, fascinating work. Ms. Lutz managed to captivate me with a hard-to-put-down narrative which mirrored her amazing life transformation using an imaginative, easy to read prose. Her straight-talk is refreshingly candid and her description of her progression to an entirely new way of life compels introspection and self-examination. A “must-dread” for those of us who seek a way to improve our lives.”
Norman Sorensen
“Must-read: I enjoyed this book immensely. I was captivated by Beverly’s style of sriting and her honesty regarding her personal life events. This book really helped me to love and appreciate life more deeply, forgive and to live life in the moment. Tomorrow is not promised, embrace this moment, because it’s all we have. This book is a warm invitation to self-exploration. I highly recommend it!”
Darlene Flores
“Beverly Lutz has written a book that will impact you at a deep level…..: Filled with honest sharing, insights and inspiration. A worthy read with a message that is clear and life-changing.”
Dr. Jeannie Campanelli
“Thoughtful, illuminating, healing and enchanting: This is a deep, insightful book about healing, freeing the spirit and leading the life we were meant to live. The authors style is enchanting. She leads you through personal and vulnerable stories which illustrate how our “life movies” evolve and how we can change the script. The book should be read by everyone – whether they are ill or just trying to live the best life possible. It is one that I will keep and refer to others. I have dealt with chronic illness all my life and have read many books in the alternative healing field. This book is one of the best and the easiest to read – it is illuminating and inspiring – it has soul and it touches the heart. Thank you Beverly.”
Lisa B, Calgary
“Insight for all ages: Lutz’s memoir takes us on a colorful journey of reflections on several decades of a life embraced passionately. The narratives dives in to a series of events and synchronicities that at first seem like the random patchwork of a long life – yet the charm of the writing is the author’s ability to weave these fascinating moments together into a common theme. The range of real-life travel, adventures, and characters is extraordinary for our times. This book offers particular insight to young women puzzled by their own journeys, to older women who are still struggling to make sense of their experiences, and to mean asking themselves “What do women really want?”
Nancy Werner, MD
“Discover how to live your moment in truth and awe: The revolutionary invitations for change and thorough, intimate study of lifetimes of nullifying beliefs lead me to rate this rich study by Beverly Lutz a five. Readers stay open-minded, absorb this thoroughly and let Beverly help you rediscover the wonders of Carpe Diem. I am now through my third reading of Beverly’s book and it will be beside me for a long while as I absorb these challenges. I am learning that we create our own destiny, joys freedom and prisons. Accepting others by binding with their true intent frees you. Accepting yourself and acknowledging every personal emotion allows you to greet yourself lovingly and others without barriers. Beverly’s book is an extraordinary invitation to face change and new paradigms and fly – like never before!”
SS, Connecticut
