Sacred Summer: A Mom's Guide to Resilience, Discovery, and Family Fun (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662908200)

Sacred Summer is an account of Seelenfreund's use of simple resilience tools during the challenging summer of 2020. COVID-19 was raging, children were home, business was slow, and anxiety was high. The author, like many others, struggled. Through humorous and heartfelt personal anecdotes, she documents how she worked to increase her resilience to make managing life a little easier. She did not endure tragedy - just inconvenience, stress, annoyance, and worry. Resilience is not restricted to catastrophe though, and everyone can benefit from enhancing their ability to rebound from difficult situations. Seelenfreund demonstrates that small changes in perspective, behavior, and action can make a deep impact on one's life. She shares tools and worksheets, as well as specific examples and resources, that make the book suitable for everyone wanting to build resilience in their own life.
