Thank you for sending me the review link and sharing your thoughts with others. As you know, that is the idea... to put loving & grateful vibrations into motion in the world! Thank you to all who give it a read and then choose to put the spirit into motion by sharing it with others. This is not a book for your shelf. Its purpose is to travel the world, connect people, move beyond the negativity in daily life, and inspire ripples of gratitude and compassion. Pass it along and change the world - one small, thoughtful act at a time. Travel Gracefully, Jason Barger PS. The map outline of my travels was not meant to be a symbol of anything...that's the first time I've ever thought of it! Interesting. And, Kari - I hope you don't get too hung up on the "motivational speaker" label. I sometimes have the same thoughts, but I hope you'll see the authentic spirit that this was created with! Dawn –

And, Kari – I hope you don’t get too hung up on the “motivational speaker” label. I sometimes have the same thoughts, but I hope you’ll see the authentic spirit that this was created with!

Jenners - The appendix "Q & A about the 7-day journey" is pretty funny.

I try so hard to not be the pushy barging person, and this book would be a good reminder to be a kinder, calmer soul!

Sharing the book is the last line written - I'd be interested to see your thoughts on it. Marie - Yeah, I showed the map to my husband to see if I was reading too much into it - he saw a whale, so I'm not far off base. I may ask the author if it was intentional.

But after finishing the review and reading the website, it seems very "motivational speaker" if that description makes sense. Does it read more like inspirational reading or like a memoir/social experiment? Not that motivational speaking is bad, I guess...my instinctual reaction just seems to be an eye roll when I hear those words. I immediately wanted to read this at the beginning of your review.

Content is very good, and smart design, logo and tag line. Kathy - the "share compassion" chapter was about seemingly simple task of making eye contact; something we (I, anyway) often don't do when I'm hurrying along on my daily errands.

Why do we all huddle around the baggage carousel like that? Great review. This book sounds like it gives you plenty to think about. Why do we all huddle around the baggage carousel like that?
