What Others Say:
Neither of us has been our normal upbeat in recent days. The pandemic along with the greater division it has brought to our nation has taken its toll. We found the Spiritual Reset video very uplifting. Metaphorically speaking it was a ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy day. The message was "spot on" and the visuals were soothing. It was refreshing to hear a message not steeped in anger and political partisanship. ~Denny and Lin Moeller~
The Lesson: What I see in this lesson is that you have an amazing ability to channel for the higher good, no matter what the circumstance. As I see it, you always strive to stay focused on whatever the truth may be, no matter how it affects your emotions. You NEVER attack or belittle. Really the lesson Zan may not be for you at all, but by those of us who are touched by your presence. ~ A. Johnson~
The forecast is bright:Her tempo, conversational and melodic, weaves a gentle tapestry, drawing us into her understanding of the universe and her place in it . . . In Zaneta Varnado Johns' Poetic Forecast, she sings because she is happy. She sings because she is free. ~JamesMichael Brodie~
Zan, I didn't know I could be more impressed by you or feel more blessed to have you in my life. I watched your conversation with Emma on YouTube and was thinking, "Lord, this woman is a saint!" I was following along in my book as your read your poems. You have such a beautiful spirit! You are at the top of my SHERO list! ~Audrey R. Lowe~
2020 was a year to NEVER forget. Filled with tremendous lows and reflective highs, 2020 taught us so much. It taught us to embrace love, to enjoy the little things, to cherish precious memories, to process our hurts, and to celebrate every accomplishment (both big or small). This book encapsulates every single one of those lessons. I LOVED the flow of the book. I'm impressed by the vulnerability shared throughout the book. I'm in awe of the author's ability to pull us in as if we're on this journey with her. Zan Varnado Johns has truly tapped into a space that seems untouched in our virtual world. Every time I pick up the book, I read a phrase or word that I missed before. This collection will touch so many… it will encourage so many. It will help us all collectively heal. Five stars is not enough. ~MJackson~
