Happiness experts advise us to live in the now. There is certainly a lot in my now to be grateful for and to focus on.
With the pending launch of Conscious Change, it's a time for celebration.
At the same time, because the new book by my co-author and I will be out in three months, I am remembering the launch of our first book, Reframing Change, in 2009.
As I was reminiscing, I ran across a folder of old photos including this one, taken on my wedding day, with my mother and my three sisters. (Can you tell which one is me?)
They would be so proud.
Two of my sisters and my mother are no longer with us in the flesh, although their presence is keenly felt always.
There is a theme I hear repeatedly in the Black community: Honor our ancestors.
To that I would add: honor our ancestors, honor those whose memories we cherish, and honor the now – it is fleeting and worth savoring.
Our new book, Conscious Change: How to Navigate Differences and Foster Inclusion in Everyday Relationships, will be released July 9, 2024. In the book, 19 authors describe how they used some of the six principles and 36 skills described in the book to navigate potentially polarizing situations in multicultural settings. We encourage you to preorder through our website, bookshop.org, Porchlight books, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
