Author Fern Stewart Welch's latest book, "You Can Live A Balanced Life In An Unbalanced World!" couldn't have come at a more opportune time. In this increasingly unbalanced and disconnected world, Fern shares insights and practical guidance in a handbook that will assist experienced seekers as well as novices learn to love healthfully, fulfill their potential and create rich, rewarding and purposeful lives.
For nearly two years, Fern has posted a weekly blog essay at www.InsightsOut.blogspot.com and notes, "The many viewers who discovered the site confirmed my belief that people are hungry for positive, helpful and hopeful information concerning their daily lives, as well as global issues dealing with the future of life on Earth."
Fern decided to publish a selection of the essays to reach out to as many people as possible during this challenging time. This how-to handbook, "You Can Live A Balanced Life In An Unbalanced World!" is a collection of 66 finely crafted and easy-to-read essays on basic issues that confront every single one of us every day of our lives, including health, prosperity and relationships.
The essays include: How to Live a Rich, Rewarding, Joyful, Purposeful Life; Achieving Inner Happiness is Life's Highest Gift; Creating a New Road Map to Health; The Importance of Keeping a "Soft" Heart; Living Simply and Treading Lightly on the Earth; and An Ode to a Tomato: What Nature Can Teach Us.
Irene Hunter, the author of "The Miracle of Being the Real You," says "This book reveals the simplicity of taking control of who you are and moving from victimhood to victorious. It's about accepting the gift of life and through our choice of words and thoughts changing the negative to the positive, the problem to the answer and the darkness to light."
According to Fern, a veteran writer whose career spans 40 years, she discovered her true "writing voice" through the spiritual experiences she had while assisting her husband through his lengthy decline and subsequent death in 2002.
Since that time, her single life passion has been to write about what she has learned from a lifetime of lessons to help others create better lives for themselves and their loved ones.
Currently Fern is a contributing editor for One Planet Magazine, posts blog essays at www.InsightsOut.blogspot.com and is nearing completion of her next book. She was formerly the editorial director of PHOENIX Magazine, and a freelance international travel correspondent for The Los Angeles Times.
"You Can Live A Balanced Life In An Unbalanced World," published by InsightsOut Books, is available from Amazon.com, other online booksellers, bookstore chains such as Barnes & Noble, and to the trade from Ingram Book Co., Baker & Taylor and other wholesalers.
