A collection of uplifting stories meant to show readers the potential they possess and to inspire them to live a better life.
Instead of hugs, Dawna Markova’s grandmother used to kiss the unique marks at the very end of her fingertips, calling them “promise prints.” She said that the moment each of us are born, life makes a promise to the world that only we can fulfill. If you are convinced you really can’t and don’t make a difference, this is the book for you.
Dawna Markova has been a teacher, psychotherapist, researcher, executive advisor, and organizational fairy godmother. She has given empowerment, creativity, and spirituality presentations around the world to various corporate and non-corporate audiences. Living A Loved life is an uplifting collection of stories woven from Dr. Markova’s own experience as well as those of her clients. These stories can help you find an untapped reservoir of capacity within—a connective force, a steady light in the depth of darkness. Living A Loved Life will leave you committed to never again diminish your mind or limit the capacity of your heart.
If you liked I’ve Been Thinking . . . by Maria Shriver, On the Brink of Everything by Parker Palmer or Becoming Wise by Krista Tippet, you’ll love reading Living A Loved Life.
“[Markova] insightfully shares how . . . to braid our strengths from even our most difficult life lessons. Her teachings guide us to reclaim our voice, redefine our story and create the life of our dreams . . . A rare jewel and a life-affirming literary masterpiece.” —Robyn Spizman, New York Times–bestselling author of Loving Out Loud: The Power of a Kind Word

    If we all speak our truth, no matter how heavy or how trivial our stories seem, then together we can light the way toward a new future and a new story, one that is no longer based on silence and shame… Whenever we tell our truth and break our silence, we become like candles that light the way for others out of their darkness until they find the courage to speak up themselves.”

    —Zainab Salbi, Freedom Is an Inside Job
