ALTA, Utah, Jan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As coaches, Ginnymarie M. Leines and Ruth M. Godfrey understand that there are many obstacles preventing people from acting on their ambitions.

As readers master the art of stillness, discernment, trust and joining with their dreams, "The Journal" provides space for planning how these concepts can be woven into their everyday life and inspires readers to take the next steps in achieving their heart's calling. In a time when many people are reconsidering their life's path, "Mandala and the Butterfly" and "The Journal" offer the tools needed to release fear and uncertainty and discover true purpose and potential.
