“Thanks for driving it home again that when I am not happy, no one around me can be happy either because I cannot communicate happiness and satisfaction when I don’t feel them myself. You are an awesome communicator, confronting us all at our weakest point, namely that we as women—by nature supporting individuals—forget ourselves completely while trying to nurture and promote our families and others we care for. You give us the tools to gain some of that independence and self-care that are absolutely necessary if we don’t want to lose our own humanity and worth. [Your book] reaffirms to me that women’s priority for self-care is not selfish but a timeless necessity.”
—Marianne Rios, Health and Wellness Coach, Isagenix

“Saundra Pelletier is a brilliant author and woman. She reminds women that we are awesome people and capable of so many things—being a wife, mother, daughter, businesswoman, etc.—but she helps us not to forget ourselves, not to forget how we got so far in life and what really drove us there. Thank you for your knowledge, faith, and guidance!”
—Katie Beecher, Mortgage Branch Manager, Stinson Financial Group Inc.
“In a nutshell, Saundra Pelletier’s book, Saddle Up Your Own White Horse, is one of the most powerful pieces of literature I have ever encountered in my entire life. It has empowered and uplifted me to be not only a better woman but a better person, a better business partner, a better significant other, a better friend, a better daughter, and a better sister. If more women had the power and the guts to be as honest and raw as Saundra is, I truly believe women would empower other women and this could be an even better country than it already is.”
—Tracey Lott, Owner, Str8eye Personal Concierge
“This book helped me rethink my expectations of my husband and the part I play in making our relationship work. We all need to hear how important sex is but most importantly how to redefine the way we think about sex in regard to the success of our partnerships . . . It was so refreshing to read her book for many reasons but above all because it talks to women business owners and not just women in the corporate world. Thanks to this book, my understanding of my clientele has improved, and by becoming a deliberate creator I’ve doubled my business!”
—Charlene Handel, Organic Esthetician and Permanent-Makeup Artist, Skin Fitness, Etc.
“After reading Saddle Up Your Own White Horse, I was confronted with my own sixty years of life as a woman in a way that I had never been. I was a little upset and a little giddy all rolled up in one. My whole life I’ve been both a victim and a flatliner, but I’ve never had the audacity to become a deliberate creator. I raised my children, I took care of the house, I took care of my husband, I took care of the pets, I worked when we needed the money, but I never took care of myself. Not once did I put myself first. I have always had a poor self-image, and I have mostly been unhappy with my adult life. I just assumed this is the life I was dealt and I’d need to deal with it. Now I am divorced, the children are all grown, the pets have died, and I find myself alone and starting over. This book has helped me see that I can be a deliberate creator and I need to start now. I have a chance for a happy life—since I’m not yet dead. I now have a new mantra thanks to this book. I’m so happy my daughter gave it to me.”
—Nancy Carlson, San Francisco, CA
“I absolutely love this book. I’ve read it several times now and still find that I learn something from it. Even my husband thinks it’s great. I’ve found that at times in my life I’ve been a flatliner, but for the most part I’ve always tried to be a deliberate creator. This book has helped me realize that I need to concentrate on putting myself first (something that is very challenging to do when you have a husband and small child), and this is the only way I can give more of myself. Using the guidance that Saundra has given in this book has helped improve my life to the point where I am happier and spending a lot less time complaining about things and doing something about them. Saundra, thanks for looking into the minds and hearts of women and sharing with us our biggest gifts and challenges. This book is truly one in a million.”
