About the Book

Do you ever wake up already feeling grumpy… or find yourself reacting to small frustrations in ways you wish you hadn’t?

Many of us move through life feeling rushed, stretched and harder on ourselves than we need to be. Beneath all that busyness, though, a wiser and kinder voice is always close by.

In Heartfelt Homebaked Wisdom, Maree Allan Fowler shares gentle, practical ways to reconnect with that voice.

In Heartfelt Homebaked Wisdom, Maree Allan Fowler shares gentle practices drawn from ancient wisdom traditions to help readers live with greater kindness, calm and meaning.

Through personal stories, reflections and simple tools, this warm guide offers practical ways to cultivate gratitude, forgiveness, compassion and peace of mind in everyday life.

  • begin the day with gratitude

  • quiet the inner critic

  • practise generosity and kindness

  • explore forgiveness, compassion and karma

  • respond more calmly to life’s irritations
