Readers’ Comments

Hello Carla,
My name is Juliana . I am from Brazil, but I live in London, that’s where I read your book (The Price of Passion), actually, I bought the book, on my way to a trip to Israel, and I couldn´t stop reading. After finish my reading, I felt that I needed to share with you that experience. Even knowing that I didn’t read yet the other books, I feel happy for you, I think you are a very brave woman and I recognize your courage to write about your personal life with details , and share it with the whole world. Your book helped me in many ways, knowing how you lead with your life…I am a person with a few problems with relationships, even though I´m  still young (23), I had a long relationship , for more than 7 years, with someone that never gave me the respect and love that I deserve, and seeing your relationship with Aaron, how you two were dealing with the situations of life, how mature you and him are. I am very grateful, because in some way you made me be free from my ex boyfriend, you helped me to let it go. So I thank you.
And I really wish you all the best in your life!!
My congratulations, Carla, for being who you are. I will definitely read your other books, and I might write again in the near future.
Thank you again. Kind regards

Hi Carla,
My name is Jenny.
I just finished your book “Desire” and am going to purchase “God’s Callgirl” tomorrow.
Your book has given me a completely different insight into LOVE and what it really means.
I am having a little tiff with my husband of 23 years at the moment and realise this needs to be resolved as soon as he walks in the door from work.
I could not put your book down and am proud that as a woman you shared so much with your readers.
Thank you for your time and the great read.

Blessings Carla. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
with love,Judy

Re Desire from Holland
Carla,
Ik hoop dat ik in het nederlands naar je kan mailen.
Wat is lust een heerlijk boek om te lezen, zo echt!
Ik kom net terug van vakantie en heb de laatste 40 bladzijdes in het vliegtuig huilend uitgelezen. Hoe jullie (jij en aaron) mensen raken met de eerlijkheid en jullie pure manier van leven en schrijven is fantastisch! Ik mis jou en Aaron nu al.
Ben ontzettend benieuwd naar hoe het nu is tussen jou en Aaron, natuurlijk hoop ik stiekem dat jullie weer samen zullen zijn……Liefs
Rianne

Antwoord for Rianne:
Lieve Rianne,
Nederlands kan ik beter lezen dan schrijven, maar het lukt.
Bedankt voor je leuke mailtje! Aaron vooral zal er blij mee zijn. Ik zal het vertalen and aan hem doorsturen.
Wij zijn geestelijk verbonden maar hij woont nogal ver weg en zo is het.
Hij is altijd welkom om bij mij op bezoek te komen. Dat gebeurt heel zeldzaam want we hebben nu ons iegen leven te leiden.
Echte lievde sterft nooit, en de onze ook niet!
Van harte een gelukkig leven toegewenst,Rianne,
Carla

Lieve Carla,
Je nederlands is nog erg goed hoor, bedankt voor je reactie.
Wat ontzettend bijzonder dit. Leuk om met je te mailen! Jij en Aaron zijn mn hele vakantie bij me geweest en dat was erg fijn.
Ik vind het ontzettend mooi om te hebben gelezen dat jullie op latere leeftijd (ben zelf 27) nog zulke gepassioneerde levens en verlangens naar elkaar hadden.  En inderdaad, echte liefde sterft nooit, daar zijn jullie het bewijs van!
Jullie ook een gelukkig leven verder!
Rianne.

Carla,

“One of the things I loved about the book itself was the growing sense of confidence I was reading about Carla as a woman – the growth of her strength – and finally, her outgrowing Aaron in becoming so much stronger and surer of herself.  For me, the sexuality was secondary to this, but was important as a celebration of independence and womanhood in a really healthy, honest, open way that has rarely been expressed in other books I have seen, and most certainly not by a mature woman.”

“As a woman I tend to gravitate towards the overcoming of problems and empowerment, and would be more likely to buy a cover which promised intrigue and some kind of “gutsiness” (is this a word?) or growth.”

“It’s interesting that people are so challenged by your frankness – which tells me that you are breaking new ground, which is great and obviously long overdue.

“I wonder why New Idea didn’t like the ending?  Maybe they’re not into strong, independent women and realism.”

love,

Hi Carla,

I have just finished reading your book Desire.  What an amazing journey.  You are such an inspiration.  I too have suffered abuse as a child and have spent many years trying to clear myself thru eft, voice dialogue etc.  Your story touched my heart and gave me so much hope. Inspirational doesn\’t seem to say enough. I am now going to read your book god\’s call girl. I thank you sincerely for all the work and sharing you do.  May your journey be filled with love and light.

Judith

Hello, Carla

Desire and Passion are feelings most of us can to some degree identify with. This book is a frankly honest account of a life devoted to discovering and enjoying the soul’s greatest calling to embrace a life of personal awakening passionately and truthfully, within our selves and in relationship with others.

This book stirs the reader to go beyond the superficial and explore what is internal; it’s written with transparent nakedness, fearless of outer interpretations and steadfastly grounded in personal revelation, inner discovery and truth.

Desire is a open invitation to allow the experiences shared by the author to impact upon us the reader to dig our own wells, to deeply open up so we too can become spiritually more alive and so live a life of passion ourselves.

It is my belief that angels walk among us– Carla is a beacon of radiant light, courageously willing to share the intimacy of her heart – I commend her work, her life, her soul. Beauty is internal, so is staying with one’s self, as she writes.

Let desire stir you on your personal journey of self discovery, knowing where there is truth, there too is acceptance, and best of all, unconditional love.

The following from Nirmala, a spiritual teacher in the USA whose words are quoted in many of Desire’s chapter headings:

I have read a few chapters of your new book and I enjoy the freshness and directness of the story. Do not worry too much what others think as there are always some who will profoundly love your work and others with the opposite reaction.
