In my poetic memoir, That Which Awakens Me, I share my journey of self-discovery from a law school graduate to a creative woman who learned to open the door to authentic living. When I graduated from law school in 1989, I was a twenty-something with a life plan focused on becoming a successful attorney. Using my multiple bar exam failures and two bouts of unemployment as a catalyst for self-discovery and lifestyle reinvention, I followed my own unique path during the past twenty years and made changes in the way I feel, think, live, work, and manage my finances. Through poetic reflection and personal stories, I share the lessons that taught me to trust my intuition, expand my spiritual practices, heal emotional wounds, tap into my creativity, discover my passions, open my eyes to hidden opportunities, volunteer and serve my local community, travel the world, and heed my calling as a writer, artist, creativity coach, yoga teacher, Reiki Master practitioner, radio host, blogger, social media strategist, and innerpreneur. That Which Awakens Me provides insight for anyone seeking guidance on how to both handle and benefit from the ups and downs of their own life journey.
