You are considering the topic of Change.

Maybe you want to learn how to embrace change, accept change, or even dance with change so you come out better for it.

Perhaps you are at the beginning, middle, or end of a big chapter of your life and are contemplating a big move, a new path, or a different way of being.

Or change was thrust upon you, suddenly and uninvited — through the end of a relationship, a health crisis, or a loss you did not choose.

Or perhaps you are simply awake to the times we are living in, aware of how quickly the world is shifting, and wanting to learn how to move with it — rather than resist it.

If you are looking for a sign that no matter where you are on the journey —

    Change is trying to uplevel us, to bring us to the next era, to — as Leah says — write the new story. I am different for having read this book. You will be too. Thank you, Leah, for your ability to follow spirit's call and set me up for the class I never had in school: how to willingly change, with optimism and faith that everything is just growing.

    Essentially a masterclass in transformation, this is a workbook filled with practices and ways to revisit changes both expected and unexpected. It can even be used to process past changes to gain healing and perspective. The prompts and exercises can also be applied to creative writing, to explore characters. So many possibilities!

    When someone we love is moving through a loss, an ending, or a beginning, it is hard to know what to say. This is a book to hand them instead — small enough to be received easily, honest enough to sit with them for a while.
