"You're an angel, Auriela! Thank you so much for bringing me "The Power of the Possible"-- what a gift!!! I could not put it down from the moment I opened the front cover! This book comes to me during a very intense time of healing and reflection, and has been a great tool to use in this process. You write beautifully, and with such clarity and purpose. I feel as if you are in the room with me, sharing your experiences and understanding while I have the inner experience of opening up. This is a book I will want to read again and share with others who are in their own process of healing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and thoughts on love, relationship, forgiveness and letting go with me. I can only hope to put this new insight to use (I know I'm coming out of this reading with some great new quotes to post around!"
~ Jen Sterling

"I finished reading your book and it is BEAUTIFUL! Oprah will LOVE it! I enjoyed all of it, but was particularly touched by your stories about how we can't change other people. In the classes I teach, the biggest source of heartache people talk about is their unsuccessful attempts to change (control) the people they love and care about. You do such an incredible job of lovingly showing how this is not possible and more importantly, the miracles that can come when you stop trying.

Through these stories and all the other truths that you share, you are helping people to make love safer. What a grand and glorious gift to give the world.

I'm going to read your book again next week so that I can go deeper."
~ Holly Higgins, Oregon

"This is a book of such heart, such wisdom. It is a multifaceted gem that does not cease for a moment to inspire, expand, and open the mind to all the joy and wonder of what it would be like to live a life truly worth living. Reading it does not only give profound and meaningful insight into the workings of love and relationships, but it throws wide open the windows and doors of possibility; showing us that having it all does not have to be a distant dream but can be a reality that we can actually create; each one of us. If I were to recommend one book to someone about living their best life, this would be it."
~ Halla Ayla, Artist

"Auriela is a source of endless inspiration for me because she is so real, compassionate, caring, has immense courage, persistence, hope and vision and continually renews these qualities. She is able to empathize without ever viewing anyone as a victim or feeling sorry for them. She has come to know that she is both loved and powerful, and this is the empowering resonance she holds for others. It is elevating to be around Auriela (and Mykaell as well). Although she will always be growing and changing, Auriela is not someone who is teaching what she is trying to learn but someone who is sharing what she has already learned, or perhaps more accurately, come to truly know."
~ Karen Kael, RealMusic, Sausalito, Ca.

"My favorite parts of the book, hands down, are the stories. I have not met all of the people who belong to each of the tellings, but I feel like I know them intimately. The woman who could not leave her marriage and the man that found the freedom to act through acceptance are the best in my memory, and the son who forgave."
~ Barbara James, Mill Valley, California

"It looked like as if it were going to be just another day. Another day filled with anxiety and depression; another day of fear and worry; another day in an emotionally abusive relationship over which I felt powerless; another day of too much pot; another day of not knowing how to end the misery."

"Then I had lunch with Auriela - and my life would change forever!"

"Auriela had always been my spiritual guide, but this was different. She told me in no uncertain terms where I was headed if my life continued as it was. But she spoke in a way that did not make me feel judged. If this was how I wanted my life to be, it was not bad or wrong. She would still love me, regardless of my choices."

"Then she spoke of possibilities, possibilities of a different future. A future filled with all that I could imagine - a future that I could actually create."

"Dazed by so much information, I went for a long walk. Suddenly, I felt that future at the core of my being. I found my power. I knew my divine path. That very day, I had a miracle that would help me end my year-and-a-half relationship and it was EASY! The depression, anxiety, fear and worry lifted. Within a month, I moved out of my small studio apartment of 22 years, to a new, one-bedroom apartment in a much nicer community."

"Every day seemed to bring new possibilities and miracles! In a short time, I moved again, this time to a cottage with a yard. I got a dog - something that I had dreamed of for more years than I could remember. Money became less of an issue. The drug abuse ended. My life was now on God's path."

"I believe Auriela saved my life!"
~ Lee Myers, San Rafael, Ca.

"I want this book at my fingertips to read over and over, allowing it to open wherever it pleases. Some pages are dog eared and there are crumbs in the creases. Every time I read it I am lifted, my heart opens and there is more space for love. The Power of the Possible has made it clear what really matters in my relationships. One afternoon I heard a chapter that in a magical moment opened my heart to see what I had missed in all my relationships. That moment changed me forever."
~ Alicia Forester, Forester Landscaping, Mill Valley, Ca.

"I have known Auriela McCarthy intimately for several years. Auriela is a woman that I respect, love, admire and trust. Her wisdom and advice cut to the core of every issue. You walk away from every discussion enriched and redirected to a path that has been cleared of the clutter that we all gather through our lives and experiences."

"I asked Auriela if she would share the as yet unpublished chapter on marriage because I was going to officiate at the wedding of my granddaughter and was looking for wisdom to include in the ceremony. I was half way through the chapter when I started to experience pure magic. Unresolved issues from my divorce were surfacing for clearing and review."

"I realized that her writing had reached into my very Soul to extract the damage and beliefs that had held me back from everything I had been claiming I wanted but was unable to create in my life. It wasn't just in the words..it was in between the words. This is an inspired work that will change your life. I began to think if just one chapter can create this kind of change. Imagine what the entire book can do?"

"Whether writing or speaking her wisdom I encourage all of you who read these words to buy her books, listen to her tapes and hasten to see any of her public presentations. Rarely in your life will you have the opportunity to create the kind of change that this amazing woman will facilitate for you."

"Thank you, Auriela, for coming forward to share your amazing wisdom with the world as it has awaited your arrival!"

"With love and gratitude for sharing your light on the planet."
~ Jackie Salvitti, EThealing.com, Las Vegas, NV

"Auriela has been a tremendous teacher for me.As I've been making my way into the unknown territory of loving another, she has provided great insight and wisdom. Our conversations have often taken place when I've been challenged in my relationship. I've turned to her because the proof is in the pudding... she has created a beautiful and successful relationship with her husband Mykaell. Her advice has helped me take the next steps in both my heart and mind to having a beautiful relationship of my own."
~ E. S., California - With much love

"My unending faith in Auriela derives from her ability to articulate the most esoteric ideas in easily understandable terms. I wanted to express my deep devotion to her because she has done more for me emotionally, spiritually and personally than anyone I have ever known."
~ Lois Silverman, New York City

"When I heard Auriela read a chapter from her wonderful new book, I felt as though she was speaking directly to me; the example she used was the exact situation I had just experienced in my relationship! I was touched by her depth of wisdom, love and insights which were truly extraordinary. As a discerning reader in this arena, I am thrilled to report that Auriela brings an unusual depth, cohesiveness and ease in her treatment of this very complex subject which in itself could fill a library. I highly recommend this hope-filled book to anyone desiring to create more deeply loving, satisfying relationships in any area of their life."
~ Linda Hetzel, California

"My dear Auriela, You are in my heart forever. I have so much to thank you for and not enough cards or letters...You helped me a lot... All your wisdom is 'gold' for me, and it made me expand. Thank you for everything..."
~ Akgun Kavas, New York

"Hello Auriela, Lori and I met you at East West bookstore, and then purchased a couple of copies of your book. One book was given to a friend, that ended up highly recommending it as it helped her get through some issues with her partner."

"From time to time we recommend products and books that we think will help enhance people's lives. Your book is one of those books, and we think your work is truly remarkable."
~ Warm regards, Amber & Lori

"Just a quickie note to say, I once again picked up your book and started reading it .. . this time from the beginning. (before I was reading selected chapters) note: For a few days I was 'searching' for the impetus and impulse to design a rather "boring" calendar print project. . . of course to make it fabulous & gorgeous. Once again, I am completely enchanted. It is so true... there are messages between those words... And yes, I am now inspired to design something wonderful."
"Later I'm hopping on to Amazon.com and ordering one for several of my friends."
Thank You!
~ Mari Smith

"This is a book you'll want to read with your highlighter, journal, and post-it notes handy. It contains a wealth of unforgettable passages to contemplate and that will change your life."
~ Jill Ingersoll

"I read the book, and I found it very useful and touching. I particularly liked the part regarding the energy of acceptance that changes the dynamic of the relationship. Personally I was also touched by the topic on the acceptance and forgiveness of ourselves and I cried for two days at least.......because it really made me realize something deep about myself.
~ Love, Daniela

"Your book landed in my hands by chance while shopping at Borders for a book for my best friend on Mother's Day. As I pulled a different book from the bookshelf, your book pulled it self forward as well - I grabbed it and off I went to purchase."
"I have struggling with Divorce, Deception, a new job... Thank you for you wonderful book - I have read it twice now and am using it for strength."
~ Dana H.

"Wow! You don't need me to tell you this is an individually and collectively life-changing work! Thank you so much! I saw your book on the counter yesterday and got a copy - nice that it was already autographed! It's an easy read for such a deep subject, and I could hardly put it down! I started last night in the middle (resolving paradox) and came to the end today. At times my eyes misted over, and at times I got chills!! This is a book to study, not just read repeatedly, which I certainly intend to do. I can't wait to read it through from the beginning this time!"

"Congratulations on your success! You are certainly a light-bearer as your name suggests!"
~ Mozelle, California

"I find the book quite fantastic, especially for the many people out there starved for the new relationship love paradigm. I read it as a writer, as much as I did being an individual thinking about my relationships. To my perception, the reader gets a bargain - the book was actually three books in one! I enjoyed most the description of the qualities of a good loving relationship that was the 'third book' within your book. The 'first book' it seemed to me was mainly on the topic of how trying to always be right got in the way of love and how one cannot change the partner. Everyone needs to be reminded of that for sure!"
"The 'middle book' was on healing a lot of the emotional wounding from relationships and getting the self back into healthiness, self-respect and self-caring. I found the references to your own stories the most refreshing, enjoyable, and empowering. I really wish you had written more about yourself - your odyssey is a great story right there - how you made it through dysfunctional relationships and co-dependency etc. into the wonderful loving and transcendent experience you have now with Mykaell (and of course with yourself also). I hope that many many people read your book. Your Mission is extraordinarily needed."
~ Ginger Metraux

"...On a personal note, some of your wisdom from you book really was helpful yesterday, thank you."
