Had the opportunity to visit Lily Dale, New York, where author lives and has a retreat.
A guest there was telling me she took a book to bed to help her get to sleep, stayed up all night because the book was so enthralling.
Turned out it was this book!
And I agree, had to force myself to put it down, so it would at least last a few days.
A real page turner, compelling, honest, and revealing.
Wishing now the author will revisit that story and get down to the nuts and bolts of how these transformations happen, using forgiveness, etc.
For instance, how much of it is timing, how much is it devoted practice of letting go or simply is it that time heals most all…?
In other words a how to book on how to work this into our lives effectively and preferably before a crisis hits hard and leaves more of a mess to clean up.
Great subject, most useful!
Thanx💛

I was gifted this book. Wow, first Gail writes beautifully. Where others may have written with anger or blame ,Gail wrote with love and compassion despite abuse in childhood,bullying in the work place, illness, broken heart time and again
What great courage she had to tell her story,as she also had to look within herself and reveal where she too had responsibility to claim her life back and souls purpose by also seeing and knowing that by her own thoughts,feelings,emotions she brought to herself all that she feared and then some.
That can be the most difficult part of our healing Journeys.
And through it all she found her dharma. Teaching orhers.
For all of us healing is an inside out job.
We are not our thoughts, illnesses,the stories we or others tell us about us .
Gail and I have recently met and I tell you she is a bright light with a huge compassionate heart. Thank you Gail for telling your story with Love,Compassion and Wisdom. This book has brought about shifts in my own thinking and doing.
Thank you Gail
5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational gift

Gail is a beautiful soul. She is a gifted writer, teacher and healer. In "The Heroine's Journey," her words flow with ease, drawing us into her story how she healed herself from illnesses such as Lyme Disease and stroke, as well as emotional, physical and mental abuse. She takes the steps most of us don't, to walk away from conventional medicine and face her disease naturally. She doesn't just tell us...we feel her pain, her excitement as she discovers alternative methods, and her joy as she returns to health. We learn that we create our own illnesses and suffering, just as we learn we can heal ourselves.
It takes courage to not take the conventional path, to stand up to those who try to block our way, to face our own emotions and let them go, to forgive ourselves and others, to heal naturally. It takes even more courage to share a deeply personal story. This is her gift to us. Sharing her knowledge, inspiring us to to do as she has. Thank you, Gail. I look forward to what you can teach us next.

A fascinating memoir of a woman who discovers that she created/ attracted illness to herself and how she overcame it. As a believer in the law of attraction, this book resonates with my belief that in order to change your life you must take full accountability for where you are currently. If you have a health issue to overcome or a situation that you want to change this book will help set you on the path to your own hero/heroine's journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and heartbreaking, but oh so inspiring!
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2020
This is a beautifully written, heart-wrenching memoir about a woman who beats all the odds of a traumatic life and comes up stronger and wiser as a result. She lives through heart ache after heartache, from a childhood of abuse, to bullying in her workplace, and finally complete physical breakdown with lyme disease, a mini stroke, and a heart attack, until she realizes that she creates her own reality.
At times, this book made me cry, then it made me angry, then it made me smile. It's a rollercoaster of a ride, but like life, it's worth the journey because it ends on an amazingly positive note. Sometimes you have to be thrown to the deepest depths, and go through your darkest nights, to discover your own power and that the key to your happiness (and health) is within you.
Inspired by her Spiritualist faith, Gail Lynn has written a fantastic book that will provide hope and guidance to anyone whose life is clouded by disease or sorrow, who struggle to find the light in their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars One book you'll wish your friends would read
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023
I've been aware of Ho'oponpono for some time now, and have applied this principle of love and forgiveness for many years. It has definitely made a noticeable difference in my life and that of others and our relationships with each other. I recently met the gracious and passionate Gail Lynn at her home in Lily Dale, where I noticed her books on a side table near the front door. She graciously gifted me one at the end of my stay at her airbnb. I found this guidebook to be exactly what I would want to gift someone in need of this beautiful practice. Full of passion, compassion, and love, it's much more than a mechanical Step 1, 2, 3, 4. The evidence with story provides support for a deep level of understanding each part of Ho'oponopono. I would only add that applying it ones Self completes the cycle/circle, from my own experience. And I would recommend Gail Lynn's Heroine book for an enriched version of Ho'oponopono's healing power. Much love to you, Gail Lynn.
I Walked into Mexico....

... during a pandemic... to offer Mexico my apologies for any harm done by America. I choose to RETURN TO HO'OPONOPONO and clear any past karma.
