From being a flower child in Berkeley and dealing with the pain of depression and unscrupulous doctors, to teaching diverse children while navigating sexism and racism, to coming to terms with her parents' deaths, Ellen Nelson looks back on her life lessons, both positive and challenging. Ellen describes her progress from intellectual knowledge of spiritual principles to a knowingness through direct experience. In each chapter, she addresses the ways she has learned to nurture her spirit in relationships, in work, or in coping with health issues. Along the way, she describes the spiritual practices that have deepened her connection to Spirit.Stories of pivotal people who changed her life make this journey easily relatable. Included also are the teachings she has valued from spiritual masters and "book teachers."In asking herself the age-old question, "Who am I?" Ellen raises the issues that concern all spiritual beings. How do I become my own authority? How do I trust my intuition? Can I live a life true to my spiritual values in the everyday world? How can I deepen in self-acceptance and compassion for others? How do I achieve wholeness?By sharing her story, Ellen encourages others to reap the rewards of introspection. Knowing oneself and sharing one's gifts leads to a meaningful, fulfilling life. Consciously being who we really are can take a lifetime but the peace, joy, and love that result are priceless.
