”The idea for the book was sparked when I was searching for a friendship keepsake book in the bookstore that I could take in turns to send to my friends. I still believe that handwritten notes become our most cherished mementos,” says Hyl.

Along with a changing, increasingly digitalized world, we crave ways to create deeper bonds and reminders of all those wonderful, wise people in our lives. As you read and fill in the questions prompted by the book, relationships and understanding become strengthened. The book challenges friends to think about their lives and dream about the future. My Soul Family offers a unique way to share stories with those who cross our paths.
