Packets of Love & Inspiration

by Kayce Stevens Hughlett

Preparing packets of love to send into the world 💕 Did you know “As I Lay Pondering” began as love notes to myself more than a decade ago when I was first learning to be brave?

If you or someone you love could use a daily lift, it might just be the perfect gift. Read it once. Read it one hundred times. New awareness will show up each time you invite inspiration to join you. 📖 💖

I have a few copies available for personal inscription and delivery. Inquire here to claim your copy. Otherwise, available on Amazon and other booksellers.
