About Become Great Through Love, Forgiveness, & Happiness: Be Brave, Be Bold, This is Your Moment by Elizabeth Upton:
Today’s busy, noisy, and fast-paced world can be full of challenges that stress us out and bog us down, sometimes leading us down a path of despair, desolation, and depression. Become Great Through Love, Forgiveness & Happiness: Be Brave, Be Bold, This Is Your Moment is the perfect guide to discovering how to slow down, reset the mind, and achieve the love, innocence, peace of mind, and resilience we once enjoyed as children.
Drawing on her extensive experience as a contemplative nun, probation officer, and spiritual counselor, Elizabeth shares the monastic wisdom she gained over two decades in a convent. She reflects on the valuable lessons and experiences she’s gathered, emphasizing the significance of spiritual symbols such as veils, chalices, and the Holy Cross, as she illustrates how these tools can guide us in leading meaningful lives and provide insights on achieving the clarity and inner peace needed to fully embrace the magnificent life we are meant to live right now.
