Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” guides us to turn adversity into a positive. As well-known as this proverb is, most of us don’t know how to use it. Lakshmi has been given lemons several times beginning with the death of her mother when she was 2 days old. She has chosen to learn how to find or create the positive in each life-altering event, including: cross-cultural adoption; a hysterectomy; and a failed adoption. She has also faced racism and uncomfortable judgments toward her as she lived a life that didn’t match what society thought was right for a woman. All this plus mystical experiences and more than one near-death-experience. Her challenges and blessings led her to deep soul-searching, asking the big questions: Who am I, and why am I here? She discovered that the end of one dream opened the door for a better one and the creation of a life that she never could have imagined possible. Join us Thursday to be inspired by Lakshmi’s courage, strength, and wisdom.
