"Anxiety, stress, and depression can put a damper on anyone's day. This is why a daily mindfulness practice is a must in today's fast-paced stressful world. Kate Allan's You Can Do All Things combines wisdom, humor, and beautiful, whimsical artwork that can be your daily companion when you feel anxious, inadequate, and overwhelmed. Spending a few minutes every day meditating on TheLatestKate's illustrations and words of wisdom offer encouragement that you can face any challenge that crosses your path. This is a book to open and use over, and over, and over againa true testament that you are not alone."Susyn Reeve, Author of Heart Healing: The Power of Forgiveness to Heal a Broken Heart"Kate Allan's artwork has always had an incredible positive message that I can't help but love--and now it's in book form! As soon as I heard she was putting together a book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It's full of beautiful art and encouraging messages that help me to calm my anxiety and get through even the hardest of days." -Becca Anderon, author of Think Happy to Be Happy"I see myself in so much of Kate's writing--and yet, I haven't been able to pinpoint and put into words these hurts before.
Which to me may be the ultimate sign of an incredible book: when the author articulates something you feel so acutely in your own heart, but haven't been able to clearly express or truly grasp. In fact, I had many a-ha! moments while reading this beautiful book. I especially love Kate's hopeful, unique take on hopelessness, and her nuanced view of feeling unworthy in relationships. These insights can have a profound effect on our lives, on our days. Because once we understand ourselves better, we have the power to support ourselves, to find what we need, one step at a time. Through her honest words, uplifting illustrations, and actionable suggestions, Kate also encourages us to keep trying and to keep going. She reminds us that we can indeed persevere, even when things are seemingly awful. You Can Do All Things is like a best friend: real, raw, and generous in its support.
It is a book that says, "I hear you," and "I'm here for you." It is a book that says, "Yes, you are strong and capable, whether you feel it or not."- Margarita Tartakovsky, PsychCentral.
