Calling My Spirit Back by Elaine Alec

5.0

My friend recommended this book, so I promptly went out and bought it. I put the book on my bookshelf and recently it started calling to me. I am so thankful that I read this book. Elaine Alec shares with vulnerability and truth such an important story and also shares the value of exploring our own stories. Through exploration of childhood experiences and trauma, young adulthood and now, Elaine allowed the reader to experience emotions and an understanding of what she went through. Elaine wrote, "we pick our parents before we are bon. We pick them and everyone that comes into our lives," (p. 1). I truly believe that who crosses our path and ends up in our lives are supposed to be there and so from page one I was invested in this story. Elaine wraps up this book with a call to action for individuals. When we heal the individual we show others how to heal and impact our communities and outwards. Highly recommend reading this book and when you do, lets talk about your take aways.
