“What’s simple in life unfortunately is rarely easy. A life on purpose asks first a quieting of the mind, long enough to listen and witness as soul’s wisdom advises our thoughts and dreams, then letting go once more to invite the soul’s consent. Bridget Bernadette’s exquisitely complementary photos and poetic insights help pave the way for our transformative journey.” 
-Mary Elaine Kiener, RN, PhD Holistic Nurse Consultant & Transformative Health Coach www.askmehouse.com

“Bridget brings us snapshots from soul’s human journey illuminated with timeless insights into the essence of experience.”

“I am weary of stuffy people using stuffy words to get across points in which they don’t believe and about which few care. This book is real. It’s real life, real language, real experiences that unite us, but that are rarely articulated coherently... without distracting bells and whistles. I read it... I grew from it, was affirmed, was changed. My young son, pre-pubescent, read it, grew from it, was affirmed, was changed. And like a meal, we shared it and were fed.”

“Bridget is a special soul who touches lives in poetic ways and Advise & Consent is a reflection of this gift. She inspires others to reach beyond their potential, to honor their own creativity and to find the silver linings in life. It’s not surprising to me at all that this little book packs beautiful prose and brilliant photography. Bridget is a living example of love, peace and joy. And, like her heart, this little book is HUGE!”

“ Advise & Consent might be ‘simple soul wisdom’ but it is no less profound, spirit-filled and touches the core of a person in word and image!”
