The Portals of LIFE is a process book for those interested in digging deep inside and looking at one' s values, ideals and the meaning in one's life. Open your mind and heart to the voice inside you and through focus, introspection and awareness you can alter your circumstances and constantly grow. The inspiration for this book came from Ben Franklin's. Thirteen Virtues. Each week he would think about a different word, such as Sincerity, Moderation, Chastity and implement it in his life. Ben believed that the process gave him a foundation to create new thought and offer insight into old ideas. The Portals of Life has been written for those who seek knowledge in the twenty first century. Over twenty-six weeks using the alphabet from A to Z the reader is given a word to consider, such as Attitude, Environment, and Passion. Each chapter contains the author's meaning of the word, its dictionary meaning, a quote from a famous person, a short personal story, three questions to be answered in a journal, as well as reference to films and books on the subject gathered from different cultures, eras, religions and philosophies. This process will help the reader look at various views they had not previously considered. The author will be conducting Webinars as an adjunct to this book. Readers will be able to meet others who are going thru the process and discuss the book's ideas. For more information visit her website at www.theportalsoflife.com
