"I have known Justine Toms for three decades.  This eloquent, profound, and moving book captures the spirit she has  infused into New Dimensions Radio for over three decades. Small  Pleasures is a book of meditative essays that delivers on the promise of  the title: they are a pleasure to read and will ease busy readers into a  state of grace. Justine brings her light touch and manifest humility to  topics ranging from flora and fauna to people and politics, all woven  into a tapestry of love. The prose poetry of Small Pleasures is the  perfect gift for family, friends, and acquaintances. Read a meditation  or two before going to sleep, and your dreams will herald a better  tomorrow."

-- Robert W. Fuller, former president of Oberlin College, author of Somebodies and Nobodies and All Rise

"Small Pleasures is one of the most  beautiful, true, and authentic books that I've ever had the pleasure to  read. Justine Toms, who has brought wisdom to the world through New  Dimensions Radio for three decades, brings her own powerfully wise voice  to us in this luminous volume. Her mature spirituality shines in  stories and examples that you'll be delighted to read and to share. What  a rich gift we've been given."

-- Joan Borysenko, PhD, co-author Your Soul's Compass

"This is spiritual exploration that has been  lived, stories culled from a wise and wild woman. Justine has mined the  gold of her own experience and offers us practical wisdom and  inspiration for living a full and deep life."

-- Oriah Mountain Dreamer author of The Invitation

"These sparkling essays by Justine Willis Toms  are gems of honesty and inspiration. In putting life under the  microscope and reporting what she's seen, she offers wisdom in  abundance. If you are looking for a star to steer by in a world that  often seems unhinged, let Justine be your guide."

-- Larry Dossey, MD, author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things

"This collection of essays by Justine Toms  provides the reader a place not only for reflection, but inspiration and  motivation for personal and social change. It is not often that one  comes across the sharing of meaningful life experience that truly  empowers and validates one’s own experience. A great book for opening to  possibilities and re-dreaming one’s life."
