• “I began reading this book on a day when my mind was troubled about so many things. There were no clear answers and no clear direction. Making things worse was the fact that my decisions were at the root of many of my problems. Normally, I have answers for everyone else. Today, I found none for myself. When I began reading this book, it was just out of curiosity. I’m so grateful that I did. The messages on the pages met me where I was and inspired me to move forward with clarity and confidence. Thanks, Cari!” ~ Donald Patten, pilot

The language is clear and easily accessible. I highly recommend purchasing a copy for yourself and your loved ones."  ~ Bryan Willis, MD

• “Cari did it again! I don’t even get out of bed in the morning without reading an excerpt from this book! It helps put into perspective a multitude of negative thinking and speaking patterns and teaches us how to re-language ourselves so that we can manifest in our lives all the joy, abundance, and happiness that we desire (and deserve). Everything we need or want we already have within, we just need to tap into our inner abundance. Thanks to Cari and all of her inspirational books, I have tapped into my inner light and now allow it shine for all to see. I would recommend this book to everyone.”  ~ Rose Petersen, life coach

• “Everyone will eventually face a crossroad at some point in their life that impacts their daily living – whether spiritually, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Create Change Now by Cari La Grange Murphy is a very good inspirational book that offers key concepts for those who believe their daily living is on a road to nowhere. It inspires them to move beyond their fears, alter their direction, and transform their life. Cari reminds us that the one thing we have is the power to choose. I particularly enjoyed the topics that focused on ‘your internal beauty regimen, revelations about one’s body, finding balance through breathing, success begins within, rising above life’s issues, and the true meaning of abundant living’. All of the topics ministers to one’s soul and provides direction to a road filled with peace, joy, strength, courage, confidence, and discernment. To name a few, Cari’s book provides antidotes for forgiveness, resolving conflict, a different perspective on prosperity, and diminishing the disorder in our lives. She skillfully conveys how our decisions in life and our reactions to life determine how successful we are with loving others, embracing meaningful relationships, and discharging the toxic ones, refraining from judging others, and taking personal responsibility. Cari’s book will motivate the reader to rise up against life’s adversities and uncertainties, take possession of their power, and pursue their destiny. This book is uplifting, filled with much wisdom on maximizing one’s life, and highly recommended. Great job, Cari Murphy! Continue to live your purpose, and pursue your destiny; YOUR DESTINY IS GREATNESS!”  ~ Bridgette L. Collins, author of Destined to Live Healthier: Mind, Body, and Soul.
