Review Quotes:
"Tom's journaling, re-enforcing hope with action, is a powerful tool to enable readers to develop their own specific plans. It's exactly what we need when fear of the pandemic crisis can paralyze taking any action."
Cindy, Director, Fortune 100 Healthcare Company
"I've been using TRANSPIRATIONS in my transition from non-profit manager to retirement and came across this line...In the midst of despair when nothing seems to help, we must take ourselves to God. It doesn't matter how. Go to that place in your soul, person or piece of geography where you've found hope in the past. You'll find it again."
Bill
Retired County Agency CFO
"I'm finding your book useful during this time of seeking shelter and safety from the Covid 19 virus, and realizing that the transitions my family have made in how we're living have the same components as William Bridges' model-denial, grief, uncertainly and confusion and hopefully, meaning and even joy as we begin anew.
Celeste
Junior High School Math Teacher
"This is a good time to do some real reflection. Each section in Tom's book starts with what you will be experiencing in emotions, key tasks, spiritual questions, and then Ignation reflections. I found great comfort in reading this book every morning to start my day."
Jim, Career Transitions Leader
"Lately I have picked up Transpirations again and Tom's wisdom has taken on new meaning. His helpful framing of the stages we pass through in times of change now provides a roadmap for the journey through the Covid-19 pandemic. May we choose wisely as we rebuild our lives, our societies and our world."
Monica, Spiritual Director,
"These fearful days of unexpected challenges, the first step is to develop effective coping mechanisms. As the book suggests, these may come in the form of deep introspection, the solace of spiritual reflection or the support of others.
Once we can cope, our attention can transition to confronting the obstacles. While this focus may lead us to the very means which helped us initially cope, these means can now help overcome the obstacles. A subtle yet important transpiration indeed!"
George, Retired Bank President
