A Spell for Living is a call to action and a map for people to connect with and recognize their own agency. Through free verse poems and interconnected abstract line drawings, readers are invited to turn these words into a talisman or inspiration to become the greatest possible expression of their essential selves, right now, no matter how challenging that may be. So much is possible when we stop and really think about who we are, what we know instinctively, and what our journey has taught us. Making our own 'spells' is a first step in truly believing that we can accomplish what we set out to. These poems invite us to start the journey.
