Book Synopsis
Resilience, Grace and the Art of Showing Up is an inspiring and uplifting book sharing the true story of one young woman’s determination to heal and rise above the traumas that had affected her in her youth by opening up to life and new possibilities of perceiving and understanding herself and life.?
Through her observations of Nature and travels around the globe, gathering life teachings from many cultures, Luannah made the shift from victim to victor. Her story enlightens the reader to explore the Power of Nature as a resource of wisdom and truth, as ally and healer, awakening us to our own innate resilience and capacity to re-create ourselves.
We all face the challenges of adversity and duality that appear to be forces working against us. Luannah shows that it is actually the opposite, that we have a choice with every experience how we use it to either evolve us or devolve us. How she navigated her experiences of rape, abuse and other traumas give an example that we have more power and capacity to change for the better then we realize.
