Acclaimed Author Kuwana Haulsey (Viva Editions) Reveals the Potential for Spiritual Awakening in Motherhood
(PRWEB) October 16, 2013 -- Kuwana Haulsey will celebrate the release of her new cross-genre title, Everything I Needed to Know I Learned from My Six-Month-Old, with a launch party and book signing in Culver City, October 19 and 20.
Kuwana Haulsey, who was recently featured as the "Book Brahmin" on Shelf Awareness, fuses memoir, spirituality and self-development into the unique perspective that babies are actually extraordinary spiritual teachers who are capable of showing their caregivers the way toward inspired living. Haulsey began writing this project as a love story between herself and her newborn son. However, as the book progressed, it began to reveal itself as something even deeper than that—a story of growth, transcendence and awakening. The book has the potential to speak directly to women everywhere who have struggled to reassess their identity, find balance and live richly—even in the midst of baby-induced chaos.

10/16 1pm PST interview on Chi for Yourself (radio)
10/19, 1-3pm, Agape Quiet Mind Bookstore Launch Party, Culver City, CA
10/20 Agape Quiet Mind Bookstore Book Signing, Culver City, CA
