Review of 'From Here to Eternity' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Damn, this book was good. SO GOOD. So funny, articulate, and wonderful. I will definitely reread this one day. I would love to read her other books. I learned a lot and pondered some more about what I want in my will. This prompted me to take a look at ritual practice, and using ritual for transformation. It really sparked my thinking towards what the fuck do I do ritual for? in my own life.
