Reviews “I would recommend this book to every young and older adult, like me. I am not a reader, yet I finished this book within 3 hours, only putting it down twice to take a small break. It is easy/well written reading, simple yet so inspiring to revisit one’s own life, while reading this book, and rethink how we live our lives now and how we could improve our quality of life; to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life that include, animals, rivers, photography, music, meditation/yoga, family, and overall happiness. I am a grown man and yet I had to wipe my eyes several times while reading this book, it was so moving to read about the Author’s own love of family, many wonderful life experiences, and also some sad ones. It is really inspiring reading and you will be so glad you read it and I am confident you will recommend it to your family and friends, like I have, or will just order the book for them as a gift. Enjoy!” — Kevin Gilligan “This book is such a treasure! I love the perspective shared and the opportunity the author took to use the pandemic to reflect and rediscover and then shared her story with us so we could do the same! Very inspiring and definitely made me think and appreciate being in the moment.” — Michelle Kloack “I loved this book! I’ts deep and fun at the same time. I loved the author’s positive perspective on a challenging time. It’s full of interesting reflections and insights. I highly recommend it.” — Veronica d'Ornellas “ This is a very enjoyable, articulate, warm, and detailed personal memoir of rediscovering the basic joys of life, with many lovely photos, especially of the author’s animal friends. The insights that she gained and provided are universally applicable. ” — R. Cathou “Ever wonder how human beings lived and experienced this period of pandemic? Well, Silvana is sharing in her own words how many of us felt and faced this unprecedent period in human history. The stories woven into insights and personal realizations will touch the reader and expand into personal reflection and parallel observations of one’s own life. While reading this wonderful book, it seems as if I am having a profound and fun conversation with a dear friend. It might inspire to meet yourself in life’s pleasures and experiences, always available to us if we choose to. The pages in this book are an invitation to do just that!” — Sandra Villafuerte
