In WAKE UP! CHANGE UP! RISE UP! Lynn Lok-Payne has given us a treasure of her lived wisdom. She illuminates her personal story of the unexpected death of her husband followed by a fire in her house, while raising a young daughter, with her journey into the air and light of trust and transcendence. I was astounded at the scope of her insights into gratitude, service, stillness, meditation, compassion, heart-centered self-care, grief, art, music, dance, courage, fear, listening, inspiration, and much more. The book is ingeniously structured to reveal how each of these flows one into the other. The beautifully written chapters include her direct experience, quotations from her exceptionally wide reading, creative and helpful exercises, and even playlists of uplifting songs relevant to each topic. Among Lok-Payne's profound insights, I especially appreciated her fresh expressions of the peace in letting go, and how instead of dwelling on loss, finding what gives joy. Lok-Payne's journey from the vitality of her inner transformation to the blessing of WAKE UP! CHANGE UP! RISE UP! is capsulated in her affirmation that "Passion is the 'I' and compassion is the 'we.' "

Refreshing and Inspirational!
Wake Up! Change Up! Rise Up! gave me the perspective and inspiration needed to get through the past year and emerge even stronger. We've all become so busy we don't take the time to reflect on our habits and relationships to assess what we need to change and how to make those changes. Lynn's book was a guided tour of how to do this and made it enjoyable! Thank you for providing a framework and guiding me through my personal transformation and being such an inspiration!
