I am blessed to call Stacey Morris a DDP Yoga team mate, coach, mentor and most importantly, friend. I have known Stacey for five years, after discovering her profile on the DDPY website. My jaw literally dropped when I saw Stacey's transformation photos. Stacey was the first person I ever met who made me believe that I, too, could achieve the lasting health and vitality that comes from such a transformation. Stacey gave me hope....and she continues to do so with her latest book.The Untended Soul: A Path to Light, and a Lighter Way of Being deals with the emotional aspects of over eating, and how self resolution of these issues is crucial if one is to achieve, and maintain, lasting weight loss. As a formerly 350 lb couch potato, the issues which Stacey discusses in this book are familiar ground for me. Same ball park, different row, if you will. If you are seeking to make a lasting change in your life, and achieve greater health and well being, I urge you to add this book to your tool kit for tending to your own "soul garden".I don't care if you need to lose 10 lbs or 100 lbs.... Stacey teaches us that the number itself doesn't matter. What matters is that you look upon yourself through the lens of radical self acceptance, at whatever weight the scale says TODAY. Not tomorrow, or next month.... TODAY. Stacey writes with such transparency and honesty about her wellness journey, it is so easy to identify with her struggles.. It is impossible not to be inspired by all that Stacey has achieved. She shares a lifetime of knowledge with the reader in this book, and makes it easy to understand.In a world of quick fixes, Stacey Morris is the real deal. Dig in, do your own work. You are worth it. You can do it. And Stacey's book will help you every step of the way along your journey.
