Book Cover & Preview Text
One of my favorite sayings comes from an oracle card by Collette Baron Reid: It’s difficult to understand why painful things happen to good people. Fate is a mystery, after all. Yet what we do with our circumstances, the way in which we respond to life’s challenges, is how we rise up to greet our destiny. While there is a positive flipside to this, transitions are, and can be, painful. People are upset, worried, afraid of change, uncertain, and a list of other thoughts and emotions that take away from the ability to embrace change in order to lead an inherently more authentic life. At times, it even feels as if we’re watching our lives from a distance, wondering who we are, how we got there and where to go next. Keep in mind that God granted everyone the ability to give and receive grace. It can be done daily as conscious choices, choosing not to gossip when presented with a chance to do so, accepting people for who they are – flaws and all – and also, giving ourselves grace and patience when handling challenging times. Tom Feltenstein once wrote a book titled: “Change is Scary, You Go First.” When in truth, change isn’t easy. If it was, more people would be willing to take the risks needed to lead and live happier and healthier lives. So, what are some steps we can take to transition with awareness and grace?

About the Book
It’s clear that change isn’t easy. It can lead to rocky roads, broken relationships, myriad of unknowns, and ultimately, a new way of living. However, we don’t have to fear the changes, whether internal, external, or both. What we can do is recognize that change does not have to define our experience or how we respond to it. By following and practicing each of these nine steps, we all have the power to live through the changes, work through our fears and embrace the transitions that create a more positive reality. This could mean changes to our mindsets, surroundings, health, and ultimately, our well being.
