Gloria is a down-to-earth, inspiring educator and counselor who puts her heart into her work. Her blog is

relatable and thought-provoking, positively, and constructively! I look forward to more!

M. Francis

I love how Gloria's blog entries help us find our place at any moment. She makes us think, and even more

importantly, she inspires us to be the best versions of ourselves!

M. Smith

Gloria's words inspire me on so many levels. She develops positive relationships with children, youth,

and adults! Now, her written word leaves me thinking about how to discover more about myself and how

I can improve!

K. Lindstedt

Gloria's blogs are insightful, thought-provoking, and positive. She has a mastery of language, examining

a common expression, word, or emotion and relating it to everyday life. I always feel uplifted and a little

wiser after reading her words. I highly recommend this book.

J. Fox, Retired Minister

It is easy to relate to. Stories make me smile. Thoughtful questions. Insightful stories. It is an excellent

companion for pushing my mind forward or directing me to think reflectively and creatively.

E. F. Kandell, Esq., Professional certified mediator

Every high school and college student should read Dr. Vanderhorst's book and think and write in response

to her prompts following each essay. Each short essay starts with an easy and practical situation that all

humans face during their lives. Your Mental Storage Locker, for instance, begins by talking about the

physical clutter and junk we accumulate and then pivots to encourage the examination of trauma and

early memories. All the essays use excellent analogies that prompt deeper exploration.

This book is akin to mental dental floss!
