Description

In Addicted to the Addicted, Marguerite Connelly bravely shares her journey of living with her son's drug addiction, her experience with a system that doesn’t want him to get well, and her personal path to peace and acceptance. Quiet Mind Crazy Heart is Suzi Edwards’ roller coaster of a memoir, telling the story of her unusual upbringing in her family's hotel in Saint Thomas and the adventurous life that followed. Suzi has been a fashion designer in New York and London, a yogi in India, a mother in Florida, and an artist most recently known for her large-scale public mosaic installations. Like her mosaic artwork, where thousands of disparate pieces come together to create a cohesive and beautiful whole, Suzi’s spiritual practice has guided her to find synchronicity in chaos and remain sane through it all. Flose LaPierre is a writer and a healer. Perhaps best known locally as the facilitator of Write to Heal Workshops, Flose guides her students through mediation and breathing exercises to unlock their creative “flow.” After suffering a traumatic personal loss last fall, the death of her 2x-year old brother, Flose's journey currently includes healing herself. Rosa White is the author of the children's book, The Bird Who Was Afraid To Fly. Her work also appears in two anthologies, Rebirth of A Woman: Unapologetically Living Your Truth and Sister 2 Sister. Rosa hopes that her writings will inspire others to become their best self and live their best life, by doing whatever it is that they DREAM to do, even if they have to do it afraid! Lisa LaFrance, Impact President, inspired by these women's fearlessness, will venture into uncharted territory and facilitate this incredible panel discussion!
