Unexpected Joy
Explore in depth Parts I and II of Lessons in Simply Being: Finding the Peace within Tumult. This
portion of the memoir traces her journey from despair to a life of trust, faith, and unexpected joy.
Examine with the author how we can discover and honor the "gifts" that exist within times of
darkness, and let these "gifts" lead us to places we may never have imagined possible. Engage in
a self-reflective exercise and begin to construct your own "gift box."
