I woke up 6:30 in the morning suffering from neck pain due to an accident I had had. My first thought was to turn on the TV to fill my mind with nonsense in hopes of ignoring the pain, instead I put on the Meditation: Your First Steps meditation CD. Instead of filling my mind up with TV nonsense I decided to be still for 10 minutes to the peaceful sounds and guidance of Barbara J. Faison. I thought I was too much of a busy thinker for anything on a CD to work but instead I was patiently brought to a place of calm that gave me such a wonderful peace of mind when starting my day. I even forgot the pain.. for ten minutes. This cd is now a staple in my life. What a smart choice I made in putting it in. I'm am grateful Ms. Faison thought about us beginners enough to explain everything. This CD is all anyone would need to take their first steps towards peace of mind and clarity in their day.

Peggy Duncan, Author of “Just Show me which Button to click!”, Atlanta, GA
I heard her speak and bought her book. She lives what she has written. Barbara has captured in a simple and straight forward manner, the how to BE your own person. This book is a quick read, but once read, it becomes a constant source for those "..tight shoes moments" we all have. I keep my copy on my desk and when I feel hassled or stressed out. I open my book and have a reality check with Barbara's "right on target" comments. After that, I do one of Barbara's thinking and action exercises. I find my attitude shifts back to "being Me" and I get right out of those tight shoes.” Barbara, thanks foryour help. When’s your next book coming out?

Barbara has managed in a few short pages to capture the trials, joys, highs, and lows of living. Even more, she has managed to capsulate the complex event called life and hold the mirror up so all can view self. I so enjoyed and believed in the book, I gave my original copy to a friend and co-worker that was struggling with some personal adversity in his life. This book has now become daily reading for that person also and he has acquired the strength and courage to move on. This book should be a must read for everyone from children to grandparents and all in between. Thank you so much for sharing Barbara.
