WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
“I was truly inspired by Helen Adam’s wonderful story! She takes us with her on a moving journey of personal transformation—from being corporate executive to becoming a spiritual teacher and healer. A series of devastating events in her life including her 19-year old daughter’s death caused by a drunk driver and her husband’s unexpected and early death; a business betrayal, and a fall that left her permanently in pain—serve to galvanize her spiritual growth rather than defeat her. By embracing these events as challenges, Helen uncovers the pathway to ‘joyability.’ Fortunately Helen shares with us the tricky corridor through which we, too, can transform such events into a joy for living. Helen’s warmth and wisdom are a great comfort—especially for anyone experiencing loss.”

“I sure want to express to you my sincere thanks and deep appreciation for my #1 gift, ‘Joyability.’ I read it as soon as I got home and then re-read and re-read it again. It was awesome, and it really motivated me to look at things in a much different light…I lost my whole immediate family in a 2-1/2 year span, and the holidays are always so difficult for me…Everyone that spent the holidays at my home is gone. You really picked me up and helped me to find the joy of going on. It is sure a marvelous book with so much to offer to those of us who experienced your journey. Thank you so much. With the talent for writing you have, you must do more. Do not stop with ‘Joyability.’ … I want you to know I really ‘treasure’ it.”
