Welcome, Wonder: A Season of Practices to Curate an Awe-Filled Life - Paperback

by Nya Jacobs Abernathy (Author), Riana Shaw Robinson (Foreword by)

Welcome, Wonder is Nya Jacobs Abernathy's debut book where she journeys with us - slowly - in the intention of noticing the wonder that is already present. A book of 84 reflections, Abernathy helps us mark wonder over the course of a season in the cadence of three lunar cycles. Invitations to consider belonging, wholeness, story, and connection are offered throughout these pages. Founder of The Dignity Effect, a boutique education firm specializing in adult social emotional learning, Abernathy weaves in the concept of dignity as she helps us pay attention to the awe within and around us.

Abernathy's creative non-fiction writing plays in the influence of speculative fiction and theoretical science - a way of imagining that dances so close to reality that the embrace feels impossible to break. Within the energy of this specific magic, we are given a collection of reflections, questions, and affirmations to be revisited again and again. Welcome, Wonder is a book for each of us that, in the midst of the modern world, will aid us in pausing to capture the wonder meeting us right where we are.
