How do you respond when the worst possible thing happens? Can you open your heart and allow the truth and the pain to transform you . . . or would you strike out in an attempt to deny the truth of the moment? In her honest and inspiring spiritual memoir, Lina Landess shares her journey from the dark night of the soul to her awakening into the truth of who and what we really are. With courage and a no-stone-unturned approach, the author shares her story so that others have permission to experience their own challenges and choose responses that will open their hearts to the love and joy that is always there, as revealed in a heart that has been broken open.
Here's how one reviewer described this lovely book: I was recently delighted to read Lina Landess's book, which chronicles her spiritual explorations over a lifetime. The author's clear writing style, grounded in an everyday kind of joy, brought the stories of her life alive for me. And I love the subtitle of the book: "Discovering the Heart Within Heartbreak", which is one of the best descriptions of the way suffering supports us in waking up that I've ever heard. It's easy to miss the fact of our own growing awareness by comparing ourselves to people like the Buddha or Eckhart Tolle or Byron Katie, whose awakenings seem to have occurred all at once. But I'm guessing that most of us, like Lina, open up little by little, like the flowers that we are. Until, one day, we find ourselves simply happy to Be, and truly grateful from the inside out.
