by Julie Tennis (Author)
This mini self-help guide is for people who are feeling disconnected from each other and the world around them. The first part of the book tells an inspiring short story about Sarah, a young woman whose life has become a hollow shell compared to what she had expected it to be. The seclusion of working from home has caused her spirit to fade. She spends her free time surfing through social media and sitcoms, trying to fill a need she isn't aware she has. When her soul flares up in defiance and sends Sarah on a walk to clear her mind, she has a chance encounter with an older woman in the woods who gives her a gift that sparks Sarah's spirit back to life: the Gratitude Beads. The second part of the book describes what each of the gratitude beads represent so that you can use them in your life. Visit the author's website to order or learn how to build your own.
