Recommended Reading

Beverly Engel is a prolific writer. A colleague of mine recommended her books to me. While researching her books online, I came across her book, Blessings from the Fall: Turning a Fall from Grace into a New Beginning.

This is an excellent, quick-read book filled with examples of real-life people and their recovery from a fall from grace. If you've had the fortune of making it through your life without making any major mistakes, you have my congratulations. If you haven't had that be the case, then I recommend this book. She discusses all types of falls including addictions, bankruptcy, loss of a business, being fired, being arrested, loss of status, etc. and the possibility of a better life that a fall can precipitate.

My Whereabouts:
I leave tomorrow for Maryland to give a 2 day workshop to advocates at the Family Crisis Center. I quickly return on Sunday night to unpack and pack so that I can head out on Monday to beautiful Lake Junaluska in the mountains of NC. I will be presenting a unique workshop at the Child Advocacy Centers of NC Conference where I will facilitate a dialog about the overlap of child abuse and domestic violence.

Other trips this month include Charlotte, Sunset Beach, and California. The last one is a vacation trip to finally get to see the giant redwoods in northern California!
