Opening to Love 365 Days a Year
by Judith Sherven, Ph.D. and James
Sniechowski, Ph.D.
Review by
Mike Weaver, Editor
NAPRA Review
 Forgive
me if I've grown a tad suspicious of daily affirmation books. Often it feels as
though an author has several dozen really meaningful pieces of advice, maybe
even three or four months' worth, and some marketing guru has convinced him to
tack on a couple hundred and some to fit the 365-day format handed to us by
Roman calendar makers.
This book defies such weary skepticism -- nay, blows it wide open.
Thought-provoking, inspiring and wise, these affirmations are little one-page
teachers; if today's lesson feels like familiar territory, you can bet that tomorrow's
will open your eyes to a new idea, perspective or facet of relationship. This
wife-and-husband team, co-authors of The New Intimacy, offers for each day a
page-long meditation, a distilled one-sentence affirmation and a complementary
(and complimentary) quotation. Just one of the meditations is ample kindling for
a great heart-to-heart bonfire with your sweetheart; two or three absorbed would
qualify as a good counseling session; 15 or 20 could be spun into a self-help
book; 365 is an abundance.
