a human story
Legend tells us of the human race that lived in paradise. They had everything except freedom of choice. The humans made a choice, ate some fruit, and got banned from paradise.
Many centuries later, a boy was born. He was supposed to save the humans.
But the humans did many terrible things in the name of this boy who was supposed to save them.
They made wars and destroyed the earth.
They did so in the name of greed and power.
A Kind Life reviewed on Goodreads
A Goodreads Review of my Book, A Kind Life:
“Bretherton offers a framework for readers seeking to rebuild emotional balance and reconnect with their inner well-being in this gentle, thoughtfully structured guide.
The book opens with a simple but resonant premise: beneath the layers of disappointment, conditioning, and self-doubt, the soul is already whole. Healing, it suggests, is not an act of repair but a process of remembering—a gradual peeling back of what has obscured one’s natural sense of vitality.
Bretherton organizes the manual with notable consistency. Each chapter presents an affirmation, a thematic overview, journaling prompts, rituals, contemplative exercises, and symbolic elements drawn from nature—colors, stones, flowers, and animal energies.
She avoids turning these tools into rigid requirements and instead invites readers to adopt what serves them and ignore what doesn’t.
Her treatment of anger is especially sharp; she shows how most emotional flare-ups stem not from the moment itself but from the story layered onto it. Learning to catch that story gives readers room to choose their response.
The chapters on gratitude, balance, and kindness follow the same practical path, offering small daily habits that help strengthen emotional resilience.
The book’s rhythm—calm, repetitive, intentional—mirrors the healing process it describes.
A warm, accessible, and quietly encouraging companion for anyone seeking to move through life with more clarity, kindness, and self-connection.

a kind life the book is live
I am super happy to share my new book with you. A Kind Life – Your Healing Journey.
About A Kind Life:
A Kind Life takes you on a journey of healing and self-discovery. On the way you will find the tools needed for this adventure to be a success.
Your tools consist of contemplations, affirmations, symbols, rituals, stones, flowers, and journaling.
As you travel, you will come to realize that your soul is already healthy and balanced. You’ve simply covered up this knowledge with layers of theories and behaviors that you’ve learned on your past travels.
Together we will remove these layers and rediscover your beautiful vulnerable soul that hides underneath.
A soul that is strong enough to live fearlessly, love unconditionally, and accept yourself and others without judgement.
