'I devoured Megan's marvellous new offering in an afternoon. Easy to read, deeply inspiring and oh so wise, it was the perfect antidote to my in-box overwhelm. Make sure you've got a notebook beside you when you read this -- you will want to take notes!' - Susannah Conway, author of This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart.
