MwT Book Review: "A Walk on the Beach" by Joan Anderson

This month’s book review looks at life and choice, through the eyes of a woman contemplating leaving her marriage, or staying put. She meets up with a woman of incredible wisdom and understanding, and with her guidance and support, our author moves through this transitional time, back into her own self.This book, "Tales of Wisdom from an Unconventional Woman: A Walk on the Beach" by Joan Anderson, came to me in the early days of my recovery from my divorce, long before my coach training. I can now see what a pivotal part this book played in becoming the me I am today. I feel such gratitude for this book and its support at this vulnerable time in my life.As I experience it now, I realize how much of Erikson’s tidbits of wisdom I hold to, even now. Things like: Always be willing to dance. And know that no matter how hard you dance, not everyone will clap.Make time for play.It’s a gift, being your own person.We grow from emotional conflict.Do something with your hands when you seek clarity.By being open, welcoming, and ready to receive, grace happens.And live the dash. You’ll understand this one after you listen to the episode.I hope you’ve subscribed to us wherever you get your podcasts; please, share my work widely, give us a review or a drop us a few stars, it really does help.
