Description
Embrace the power of risk and become your authentic self. Through wise lessons and heartfelt stories, discover how making courageous and unconventional choices that are truly your own can lead to growth and self-discovery in all areas, from spirituality to finance, and from individuality to personal relationships.
Practicing the Art of Becoming is an open invitation to self-acceptance, soul-deep understanding, expansive thinking, and spiritual liberation. Author Patty Elvey’s varied background—from a career in business, coaching, and philanthropy to a personal journey as a spiritual seeker with a heartfelt ministry—has prepared her to pack her first book with a wide range of lessons on making brave choices and discoveries.
With chapters covering topics ranging from integrity, intuition, patience, forgiveness, darkness, money, surrender, and more, this is a book you will turn to again and again for guidance in expanding your own practice in making choices. Not the choices everyone else expects, but the choices that are deeply and profoundly right for you and your own journey of becoming.
Learn to view risk, not as dangerous or scary, but rather as a golden opportunity for growth, personal development, and self-actualization. Whether in spiritual practice, emotional truth, practical matters, or dealing with the harder things in life, Practicing the Art of Becoming is a touchstone for our journeys as we stay true to ourselves and grow each day.
