Praise for Say Yes!
"Beginning with the author’s watercolor of a heron in flight on the cover, followed by photos taken by the author and family/friends, each accompanied by a haiku written by the author, this book is visually inviting – a book that lends itself to one enjoying a favorite cup of tea while reading it. In addition to being beautifully illustrated, it contains friendly and instructive content, such as, Prepping the Creative Self and Opening the Creative Door. Between sips of my tea, I found myself thoughtful and inspired." ~Karen Rancourt , Ph.D., author and advice columnist (aka "Ask Dr. Gramma Karen")
