"This amazingly honest book captures the pain and glory of struggling with personal challenges, enabling the reader to have numerous 'ah hah' experiences along the way. As the authors share their personal stories and epiphanies, I was able to step back and take a look at my own drama with fresh eyes and a more positive attitude. As a health writer, I highly recommend 'The Hokey Pokey...' for everyone who needs inspiration in overcoming their own illness or dealing with the illness of a loved one, and to those who want to change the direction of their life. This is a book you'll definitely want to keep on your night table." -Barbra Kohn, Boulder, CO

"As one who has spent a lifetime focusing on what is NOT necessarily important, I was inspired by this wonderfully written book, which gave me guidance with nearly every turn of the page. It's a book you can go back to and read again and again. Highly recommended!" - Karolyn Merrill, Boulder, CO

"This morning I decided to take some time for myself and read a chapter of your book. Well, I did and could not put it down until I finished...cover to cover. This book is unbelievably inspirational and THE answer to what I’ve needed and have been searching for. Of course, the timing was perfect, but then you knew that already! No coincidence! You have given a gift of love that just keeps giving!"
- Karen Jones, Shavano Park, TX

"My congratulations to you both for a book well written. You have captured basic metaphysical truths while addressing some concepts of quantum physics. I found your book most interesting, and I related personally to it. Thanks for your willingness to share your sad times and your triumphs with others." - Sarajane Thomas, Seattle, WA

"I loved your book, and I have since been playing with the hokey pokey. I wanted to pass on this poem by Sonia Sanchez that I read years ago: 'My bones hang together like pinched dragonflies. Shake loose my skin.' It kept popping into my head as I read the book." - Molly McLean, Boulder, CO

"Finished the book and cannot say enough glowing words about it. I love these two women! The honesty and integrity of their words enabled me to relate and learn from their stories. The book is written in such a way that one is invited to simply stick a toe in and sample the wisdom, or dive in full forces and go for the gusto. It's a book to read, reread, underline, yellow marker, and notes in the margins." - Lee Marchitelli, Tucson, AZ

"...Jenny Atchley and Adele Britton give an amazing tour de force on what life is really all about, and the power we all have available to us at any time to change our perception and transform the quality of our lives. I couldn't put this book down, and I don't think you'll be able to, either." – Gary Renard, the best-selling author of The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality

“This book is truly a gift that applies to everyone, no matter what their calling or situation in life. It is written on a very practical and personable level. While reading it, I felt inspiration, peace, and hope, as well as a new awareness of myself and the world around me. It offers a new and refreshing way of dealing with ourselves and happenings in life that we all experience, at one time or another. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to grow in Love, Understanding, and Forgiveness. It’s excellent reading!”- Georgia Pinkal, Colorado Springs, CO

“Once I started, I couldn’t stop until I read it all. As a writer, I think this book is one of the most authentic and from-the-heart works I’ve ever read. As an elementary-school student in the classroom of this particular life, I can’t imagine a better textbook. It helped me gain clarity...and it just plain helped me. This book is the antidote to the ego’s poisonous chalice, from which we all so freely drink until we realize that doing so will never satisfy our thirst.”- Susan Wiant, Prescott, AZ

"I just wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying the book. It reads very easily, and I love how the stories are separate but mesh in such a neat and refreshing way. I feel like you are sharing the 'humanness' of both journeys." - Melanie Williams, Royal Oak, MI

"I loved this book! I couldn't put it down. My 18-year-old twin sons were also captivated with it. I highlighted many, many parts that I intend to return to. The book has opened avenues for communication for me personally and within my family. It will definitely change the lives of those who read it!" -Beverly Harward, San Antonio, TX

"I just finished your book and felt it was very inspirational! I will recommend it to others!" - Deborah L King, Boulder, CO
