She had me in tears…
This book made me consider the validity of long held belief systems, and honestly Dr. Anita explains to the reader that she intends to do so.
As a mid 40s Christian ( formerly COGIC) woman, I can’t say that I agree with all that she wrote, but I won’t say that any of it is wrong. Perhaps, different. However, fresh perspectives should be welcomed considered, and I truly enjoyed this literature journey.
I intend to listen a few more times because her words are making an impact in my thought process. Today, I paused and took deep breathes. I imagined my amygdala flourishing in a positive moment, and used another technique she mentioned in a challenging one.
I appreciate the care that went into this book, and when she ended the acknowledgments with my favorite scripture I felt tears swell. This book felt like home.
