​TRANSFORMING YOUR LIFE.  LITTLE CHANGES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE



My new book has been released!  KINTSUKUROI HEART; More Beautiful for Having Been Broken

12/3/2020

​Different ages.  Different decades.  Different circumstances.  There are specific events in our lives that shift our paths, write our stories and break our hearts, adding layers, depth and complexity to the clean-slated girls we once were.  
 
Each chapter in Part I of Kintsukuroi Heart is a non-fiction stand-alone story.  A collection of vignettes offering glimpses of the exact moment in a woman’s life when something happens, either by choice or circumstance, that changes her course.
 
In Part II we see how these experiences, though deeply personal and unique, are the threads that intertwine and connect us all, fostering compassion and empathy for one another and, hopefully, for ourselves. 
 
In Part III we see how, as women, like all forces of nature and works of art, our beauty is formed through refraction, revealed in dimension and contrast, shadow and light, our benevolence becoming both the result and the salve, the subject and lens.  The road may be beastly but the result, if allowed, can be spectacular.

​“Kintsukuroi: kin-tsU-kU-roi (noun) (v. phr.)  ‘To repair with gold.’ The Japanese art of mending broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.  As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object rather than something to disguise, understanding that the piece becomes more beautiful for having been broken.”

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”  ~Maya Angelou~ 

Next week's post, Chapter One; Waiting Room on Thursday, December 10th at 10 am Eastern, 1: pm Pacific time

Oh Amie, I am so excited you have completed your book. I am about to order my copy! I adore the concept.
I returned to France with my grandson last year but had only a few good days before taking a fall on a train to Orleans. This year has entailed three spine surgeries. Another example of how a moment can change a life. I am continuing my psychotherapy practice virtually. I still remember the day I met you in Paris at Adrian Leeds’ meeting.
I know your book will be a success! Linda xoxo

Linda! How wonderful to hear from you! I’m so pleased to hear that you returned to Paris with your grandson but so sorry to hear of your fall. I hope, after your surgeries, you’re now on the road to recovery. I remember clearly meeting you in Paris that day. Since then, I’ve known that when I finally published this book, I would be sure to let you know. You’ve been so supportive! I’m glad you’re able to continue your practice remotely. I do hope you’ll enjoy the book and that it will someday benefit some of your clients. Thank you so much for reaching out. xoAmie
