Description
In the complexity and speed of modern life, taking time to nurture oneself is often sacrificed to more immediate demands. We struggle to understand our purpose and how we show up in the world. We wonder what our lives are about and if we are making a difference. These are big questions with no easy answers, yet questions worth exploring. In ALIGN, author Jen Smith shows that the first step to creating a better life begins with understanding identity. In this first book of the ALIGN-ACT-ACHIEVE series, Smith explores the process of aligning which includes examining your values, beliefs, skills, and talents-those things that make your spirit soar and your energy surge. Traveling inward, ALIGN guides you through a series of stories, questions, insights, and exercises to help you find your own answers to life’s most important, yet often ignored, questions. It marks the beginning of a journey of a lifetime. I currently reside in Rockford IL, and I am full time employed as an animal-loving Veterinary Technician. I love what I do and I love working with the animals every day, I’ve come to grow so close to some of my patients and their owners I don’t know what I’d do without them. I spent most my childhood in Illinois before moving to Mississippi with my family, I then returned to live with and take care of my grandmother and great grandmother (who just celebrated her 97th birthday). I love being active and outdoors whenever possible. My favorite season is Autumn. I’m an avid gym goer, steady state cardio makes for good reading time! I LOVE reading and finding new stories to dive into. My bookshelf is completely random, it ranges from murder mysteries and adventure to romance and self-help books. I also like to read psychology books and books on understanding human behavior, it’s a hobby of mine. I’m constantly learning and happy to do so, I feel we only have one life to live so why not be all we can be.
