5.0 out of 5 stars - Introspective Thought at Your Own Pace

"S.A.I.L Above the Clouds sails way beyond the literary category of “sailing” or “self-help”. The author opens your mind to YOUR life challenges and possibilities as she takes you on her journey in pursuing the same. The content and coaching direction of this book is not over generalized or “prescriptive”. An entertaining, authentic, relatable ride that provokes introspective thought at your own pace. Highly recommend. Quick read." -Jody. St. Andre

5.0 out of 5 stars - Great story, great book, a must read.

"I read this book in two days, couldn’t put it down. It is so well written and a great story. You will probably recognize yourself in some of the stories. It is a must read for every woman and probably most men. Written by a strong woman who takes life’s negatives turns them around and uses them to help others. Quite the life so far, Bravo."

5.0 out of 5 stars - Every part of this book resonates!

"Oh boy! What a book for our times! Everything in it resonates with me. I have been on a path of self-discovery and self-growth for the last 6 years. What a time of learning and healing! And this book works right into that: I was so eager to do (and did) all the exercises because I have already learned what a boon this work on self-awareness can be. Also, my dream (that I'm working on with all my heart) is to become a cruiser - to travel, explore, and adventure by sailboat. Carole's book encompasses everything important to me. Thank you, and I can't wait for the next one! <3 " - Susan Crowe

5.0 out of 5 stars - A work of inspiration and knowledge
"This book was a joy to read. A series of short stories that convey the author's struggles and triumphs and leaves you with the realization that anything in life is possible if you listen to your heart and use your wits. Also included at the end of each chapter are words of wisdom and advice with tools to guide you to reach a better place of contentment. I especially liked the chapter on getting rid of material things, a personal ongoing struggle. Highly recommend. MAB" -Wizard

5.0 out of 5 stars - Light-Hearted Seriousness

"Using stories and humor, Carole shares with us her journey of growth. And because so we can relate to so many of her experiences (yup - been there done that, or something similar) she helps us sail through our own journey. The self-inquiry questions and suggested exercises at the end of each chapter encourage us to simplify areas of our own lives. The book REALLY needs to be read twice. Once for the sheer joy, entertainment and a second time to apply all the nuggets of wisdom. Can't wait to see what the second book, 'Align', has in store for us.  - Jan T.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Great read for anyone who’s looking to be inspired!

"A great book, amazing content and fun to read! I love Carole’s inner light and enjoyed the personal stories. The lesson sessions have become a healing tool for me. I really appreciate her wisdom and insights as well as her guidance on positive actions, the tools and practical advice to improve and pursue the kind of change I’ve been working at to create a more enlightened life. I truly believe this book has a message for everyone.  Neusa Melo
“Keeping it simple: this book is easy and fun to read. That does not mean that the book is elemental, by any means. It simply means that you want to turn the page. You want to know what happens next - in the story, in the growth of the author, in the lessons offered. And if you make it so - in your own growth.

Some of you may want to buy this book because you are a sailor, even a liveaboard sailor, others because of the great information on candida and gut health, and still others for the life lessons, the spiritual growth it offers. No matter what draws you to the book, you will enjoy it - each page. And isn't that why we read.

Confession: I have not completed, or even read, the lessons section at the end of each chapter. And that's Ok. I am still gleaning loads of entertainment, inspiration and thought-provoking questions, from this author's amazing storytelling (true stories) and insight into her own growth.

I will go back and read each chapter again (yes, it's that good :-)) and complete the lessons, questions and actions. In fact, I gifted this book to a friend and we are going to do this together ... read a chapter, complete the activities offered on our own, and then come together to share and discuss.

This book has a place on my nightstand now. As the years go by, no doubt, the pages will become tattered, as I jump into this page, or that, rereading some of those lines and passages that resonate with me. There will be writing on the blank pages provided at the end, and writing throughout, in the margins. You know, one of those, well-loved books.

And to think there are three more in the series? I better get a bigger nightstand :-)." - Verified Amazon Customer

 

5.0 out of 5 stars - Humor, truth, and lessons, oh my!

"Relatable and inspirational—this book made me want to keep reading! I already want to reread it and take more time to do the exercises at the end of each chapter. What a life of adventure, trials and tribulations these folks went through. I especially appreciate her ability to find a positive lesson in it all. Oh, and the humor, honesty, and transparency were so refreshing. I found myself smiling a lot while reading...I loved it!" -Kris P.

​

5.0 out of 5 stars - Messages of simplicity and inner growth. 

"This book seemed to come into my life at just the right time. The messages of simplicity and self-help exercises at the end of each delightfully addicting chapter, was just what I needed. As I venture into a new and unknown part of myself at 54. Thank you Carole for your honesty and openness into your private life. I laughed and cried openly. Looking forward to your next novella." -Kym P.
