Patricia Forbes Learns to Enjoy Life Again in New Book
Denver (PRWEB) December 13, 2013 -- Author Patricia Forbes’ new book, “The Open Door: Meditations on Living an Authentic Life” (published by iUniverse), is a toolkit for any reader who is navigating the ups and downs of life and needs a guiding light.
“The Open Door” shares vignettes and personal anecdotes from Forbes’ life. After facing many challenges, including the deaths of her two children, Forbes learned to make peace with her losses, love herself and overcome fears of aging. Her advice comes directly from her experiences, and her inspiring words will encourage any reader facing down death, addiction and age.
Through her book, Forbes hopes to help readers “make peace with who they really are.”
An excerpt from “The Open Door”:
“I learned a lot while growing up. First I learned the basics, like how to braid my hair, ride a bike, and cook spaghetti. Then how to solve math problems, to make and keep friends, to be helpful to others. Next came how to drive a car, graduate from college, interview for a job, and work full time. And of course I learned how to choose a mate, get married, and have children.”
