About
the Book:
Are you at a crossroads in your
personal or professional life? Do you long for more meaning, joy, and
authenticity? Do you feel stuck, yet crave something new?
Find Your Heart, Follow Your
Heart is there to help guide you on your journey. Through a series

path.
This engaging book will help you
discover the answers that are already there waiting for you--deep in your
heart.
A
brief interview with the author:
Welcome,
Keri. Can you please share your motivation behind the book.
I was drawn to write Find Your Heart, Follow Your Heart following
a series of life-threatening and life-altering illnesses I’ve experienced since
I was in my 20s. Each of those illnesses has caused me to go deep within, to
examine my life, to determine what’s important to me and then to frame my life
going forward to provide the greatest amount of abundance, authenticity and
joy. I was also drawn to the subject of hearts after finding heart-shaped
stones and other heart-shaped objects on my daily walks.
What
would you like readers to tell potential readers about the book?
Find
Your Heart, Follow Your Heart is part memoir and part inspiration, but
it is mostly a book to engage readers to examine their lives. While the essays
tell of my life experiences and thoughts, they are intended to fuel readers’
thinking about how each of the topics might relate to their own lives. The
affirmations associated with each essay are designed to help readers articulate
what they want. The questions following each essay invite readers’
contemplation and examination in order to better understand their deeper
selves, hear what’s calling them, help set priorities, and create the life they
want. The book’s epilogue offers tangible suggestions for utilizing the book as
they go forward.
How
are readers responding?
I am both overwhelmed and heartened
by the volume, variety and heartfelt nature of the responses I have received
from people who have read my book. Many have shared stories of the crossroads
in their lives that have caused this period of self-examination and how my book
has helped them. Some readers are using the book as a daily devotional tool,
while others are using the affirmations in their daily lives.
