Thank you for walking this path, for sharing painful experiences with us and letting us participate in your healing so that we can take courage for our own 'heroine journey'

This book is more than a memoir. The author gives her readers the tools to discover themselves in their own life stories.

The writing prompts led me deep into my own thoughts, memories and feelings. They sparked my desire to write. I felt inspired and motivated by the texts. I read a little every day, looking forward to following the author's life journey and immersing myself in my own. For me, it felt like a little writing flow circle. It felt like the author was sitting in front of me, telling her story and giving me the impetus to write. This book is a journey of the soul and a writing journey at the same time.

I am so touched right now. It's just beautiful to read your words. You are so authentic, honest and incredibly loving, you inspire me through and through. You have created something very special. There is so much lightness at the end and it encourages me to buy a wonderful notebook and write even more! I hope that many people will be as touched as I was after reading your wonderful book.

The book is really impressive, it really captivates me. The excerpts from the author's notebooks are very open. I admire her courage in searching for traces of herself in the web of relationships in her family and even more so that she shares them with us so openly.

For me, the book is a little treasure that will stay with me for a long time. It's not about "real" writing, but about AUTHENTIC, HONEST, FREE WRITING that gets by with very few rules. So beneficial. It made me get to know myself better. The book sucked me in. The honest stories touched me and accompanied me through the day. The words and stories still resonate. It felt as if the author was a friend telling me about her life. For me, the book was a journey of the soul.

My favourite quote: You are not alone in your desire to feel alive, to feel the passion within you. I've been lucky enough to have attended a few of the author's Writing Flow Circles. Each time is a fulfilling, liberating experience. So I was all the more excited about this book - and it really touched me! I thought it would be difficult to create this personal atmosphere in which you feel close to each other but also completely absorbed in yourself. Stefanie achieves this wonderfully here. The book serves as a handbook for creative intuitive writing, but it is also the touching story of a woman who goes through a serious personal crisis and overcomes it courageously. The elements of guidance and family history are interwoven with ease.

The personal story makes all the advice seem so empathetic, you feel like you're being understood by a good friend! She always finds words that give you hope and spur you on to take action. The instructions are very easy to read and the writing impulses are well explained so that you can get started straight away. Writing sets you on the path to getting to know and appreciate yourself. A comforting and encouraging book for anyone who wants to embark on a journey to their inner hero or heroine!
