When I was growing up, my mother gave me only one or two dolls and teddy bears, and more books than I can remember. So a deep love of reading (and later writing) was instilled into me from a young age.

I remember the feeling of the first library I ever visited. It was a quiet, peaceful zone away from the rest of the world.

I’ve held a great appreciation for libraries ever since. Specifically I love that they symbolize the freedom for anyone, no matter their walk of life, to liberate and advance themselves through learning.

That’s why when a little birdie told me that my book Pleasurable Weight Loss: The Secrets of Feeling Great, Losing Weight and Loving Your Life Today was on display at the front of the New York Public Library in Manhattan, I had to go by to check it out for myself!

I can barely express how ridiculously exciting it was to see my life’s work freely available for anyone with a library card to access. The truth is, my feminine approach to finding peace with food, body transformation and unshakable self-love, is for every woman. Young or old, rich or poor, trendy or not trendy, the path of pleasure is for all.

The fact that accessing pleasure is a conscious choice, and that the best ones are virtually free, is the most extraordinary socialist principle of our human existence.

Furthermore, when we embrace pleasure as a value, we relish in the fact that it is available to everyone. This democratic nature of pleasure means that the more people are enjoying themselves, the more pleasurable it is.

You can be the one who seeds the importance of pleasure into the culture of your family, friend circle and wider community, and in doing so you are helping to create environments, or as I like to say, ecologies, that are nourishing and pleasurable for all.

Here’s a video of my sacred pilgrimage to see my life’s work located in the hallowed library.

That’s why it’s so meaningful for me that my book is in the public library.

For the love of books and learning,
Thank you for reading.
Love,
Jena

P.S. In case you don’t yet my book in your hands, you can get started now anyway with this feminine approach right now anyway with my free program, “7 Days of Pleasurable Weight Loss” that you can access by clicking here.
