Deep in an ancient forest of giant sequoias, a small cone waits patiently to release new life. Over the mountain ridge, a wildfire is rapidly approaching. It will destroy all in its path. But, paradoxically, the fire s intense heat will release the tiny seed, smaller than a flake of oatmeal, from the dormant cone and new life will amazingly take root. So it is for us. Problems, difficult people, tragedies these are our fires; these are our teachers. The fires of our crises and tragedies can destroy us. Or, they can lead us to the deeper truth of what life can be. Written in an easy conversational style, each chapter is a stand alone with an intended focus. Included are stories from Karen s international e-zine audience who share stories of how they ve faced their own fires. How well are you managing yourself in this journey of life? The Sequoia Seed gives you the litmus tests: Decidophobia, The Balancing Act, Out of the Land of Lack, Driving with the Brake On, etc. Karen Wright captures, in a profound tongue of everyday challenges, humanity's journey of spiritual awakening.

The Seed of Personal Growth,

Karen Wright's "The Sequoia Seed" is a spiritual journey carefully divided into short lessons of internal awareness and empowerment. Wright speaks to the soul in transition and provides gentle, profound advice for those seeking guidance through periods of personal growth or significant life change.

Very powerful book for women searching,
This review is from: The Sequoia Seed: Remembering the Truth of Who You Are (Paperback)
Ms. Wright's book is a great tool for women on their spiritual journey. Each chapter is very inspiring and encourages the reader to look inside themselves and compare that with the outer world that surrounds them. We have all asked if we were on the right path...this very partical book helps us to answer that and even chart a new path if necessary.

The Sequoia Seed warrants a 2nd and third read!,
By
This review is from: The Sequoia Seed: Remembering the Truth of Who You Are (Paperback)
I have just finished reading The Sequoia Seed for the second time. For anyone who is seeking understanding or guidance,inspiration or clarity in his or her life, I recommend reading it a second time--perhaps even a third. I know I will read it again as time goes by, when life presents challenges or simply to reaffirm the truths the author demonstrates so clearly.
Well-written and engagingly structured, Wright lead me through chapters I was sure were "written just for me." But then I thought of friends and loved ones who would greatly benefit from reading it and realized The Sequoia Seed was written just for them, too. It's universal. The Sequoia Seed is not merely about dealing with life's challenges; it's a wake up call to embrace life and live it to the fullest. That it helps offers options and solutions to the difficulties we encounter is just a bonus. I liken Wright's book to a road map that makes you stop, look around and take stock of where you are in your life. It's about thriving, not just surving, in this warp-speed world we live in. Anyone who finds him/herself at a crossroads with important decisions to make,The Sequoia Seed will help to recognize the possiblities open to you. I highly recommend The Sequoia Seed. And, I strongly recommend reading it a second time...the discoveries are just as plentiful and the insights even clearer.
