heart messages

I couldn't put it down once I started. It felt as if Maureen was in my livingroom with me and sharing these stories and experiences. I had to smile and cry. It left a smile on my face when I closed the book.

I laughed, and I cried...

My Naked Journey touched, moved and inspired me with stories and vinyettes about the authors' life as a Reiki Master. O'Shaughnessy is disarmingly humble and humorous, pointing out her own weaknesses in a way that gives the reader permission to be more fully human. Though her life focuses on Reiki, the book will speak to every reader who is on a journey toward wholeness, or would like to be on one!

Inspiration from a Friend

Reading My Naked Journey is like sitting down with a great friend and having her tell you interesting stories that openly and honestly illustrate her thoughts on life, love, authenticity, embarrassing moments and more. It is thought provoking as well as an inspiration to be the best person you can be -- while never asking for perfectionism or that anyone be anything other than her authentic self. Maureen's stories are entertaining, open, honest, and real. There is no pretense or posturing, just an open-hearted sharing of the human condition and some of the challenges we face. The stories are short, so it is a book you can read straight through or a little at a time. Or you can do what I did and read straight through and then go back and read them one at a time. It's a book that I'll read many times over -- each time I pick up something that I hadn't seen before. Some of the ideas I want to keep coming back to and exploring. It's a lovely book -- I hope you enjoy it!
