Summary

Liz Gilbert returns to share with us her transformative practice of planning her days and her life by writing two-way letters to love every morning. Why Liz shaved her head! The unwavering presence that’s accompanied Liz her whole life; The concept of "two-way prayer" – and how it can help us find the kindest, wisest version of ourselves. How to find solace and guidance in creating a higher power of your own understanding; and Abby shares her own letter on self-love and acceptance, a declaration that she will not abandon herself. About Elizabeth: Elizabeth Gilbert is author of the international bestseller, EAT PRAY LOVE, which has been translated into over thirty languages, and sold over 12 million copies worldwide. The book became so popular that Time Magazine named Elizabeth as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2010, Elizabeth published a follow-up to EAT PRAY LOVE called COMMITTED—an instant a #1 New York Times Bestseller, as well as BIG MAGIC: CREATIVE LIVING BEYOND FEAR. She is author of two novels: THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS, and CITY OF GIRLS. And she is the creator of the Onward Book Club, which takes place on her Instagram via a live chat, as a way of spotlighting, studying, and celebrating the work of Black women authors.
