WHAT PEOPLE SAY….

Why Not Do What You Love, like a mirror you look at each morning, asks the simplest question in the world, and one of the wisest and most compassionate. It tells real-life stories about people who are neither famous nor rich, they just do what they love. The book both provokes and reassures, challenges and clarifies, and demands nothing from us readers except for one thing: that we care—passionately—about the life we have been given to live. And it’s written by someone who has walked her talk.
~EVE MARKO, Founding Teacher Zen Peacemaker Order

I love the way Martha has written WHY NOT DO WHAT YOU LOVE? as a friendly conversation with the reader. She gently poses questions while the readers search inwardly to “discover their best gifts and to explore ways to use these gifts.” Her concept of aligning our passions, our innate gifts with life’s callings has helped guide me in my reflections on the life journey I’ve taken these past 70 years. Moreover, it has helped me to begin to systematically seek more clarity as I navigate into my future years.

Thanks for orchestrating a fantastic morning program for some of us from the Family Business Center.  Our discussion and participation was  well structured with just enough time to ponder and reflect on the themes of your book.

What a wonderful honor it is to be included in your book! I think you couldn’t have picked a more important subject and it is so timely, as so many who had focused purely on making money now take stock of their lives and wonder how they find more meaning through helping others.
