When an illness as serious as a malignant brain tumor rudely interrupted the author's life and successful corporate career, she realised that the illness had a message - not just for her but for the many others in our world also suffering with illness or caught up in careers that are demanding, stressful or no longer inspirational. In her quest to overcome the illness and live an abundant, successful, purposeful and healthy life, she made a choice to 'hear and listen' to the voices of hope. Power in the Paddock is an inspiring account by Yolanda and her favourite polo pony, Erika. It is Yolanda's response to the many questions she asked herself during her illness and her healing period of seven years, and it chronicles the extraordinary journey that sees her heal from cancer and take the leap to follow her greatest dream of living and working full time with beloved equine creatures. She shares her experiences and invites all of us to embrace healing as a natural part of LIFE. Her emphasis on spiritual surrender is reinforcing to any reader facing his or her own significant life challenges. Her writing, straight from the heart, is soothing to all who take the trouble to sense the depth and voluminous content; it is soft, gentle and filled with integrity. This book will inspire you to live more abundantly and effectively with your own thoughts, your own words, the way you 'listen' to healing voices, and the feelings you harbor while being a pilgrim on this earth. If you have been wondering why suggestions from other sources have not assisted you with any challenges in your life's journey, this book may just be the one written for you.
