A deep journaling tool for becoming less reactive, and more responsive and open to loveIn her highly anticipated new book, How to Be Loving, Danielle LaPorte teaches that “resiliency is our capacity to respond from the heart―it has everything to do with love and inclusiveness, and nothing to do with getting tougher. Resilience is a foil to the ego’s way of dividing everything into ‘right or wrong.’”This journal is a resilience tool.Yearly vision quests are great, but regular reflection keeps us close to our life force―and to each other. And the more often we reflect on what’s meaningful in our life, the more light we will find to steer by. Every passage in this journal feels like a portal to your inner knowing.Reflection prompts take the individual on a journey from seeing themselves as “separate” to recognizing that we’re each part of the Divine Plan. The experience is punctuated by micro teachings on the virtues of Loving Kindness, Compassion, Forgiving, Wisdom, and Radiance.How to B
