ABOUT THE BOOK - Deep in an ancient forest of giant sequoias, a small cone waits patiently to release new life. Over the mountain ridge, a wildfire is rapidly approaching. It will destroy all in its path. But, paradoxically, the fire’s intense heat will release the tiny seed, smaller than a flake of oatmeal, from the dormant cone and new life will amazingly take root. So it is for us. Problems, difficult people, tragedies—these are our fires; these are our teachers. The fires of our crises and tragedies can destroy us. Or, they can lead us to the deeper truth of what life can be. Written in an easy conversational style, each chapter is a stand alone with an intended focus. Included are stories from Karen’s international e-zine audience who share stories of how they’ve faced their own fires. How well are you managing yourself in this journey of life? The Sequoia Seed gives you the litmus tests: Decidophobia; The Balancing Act; Out of the Land of Lack, Driving with the Brake On, etc. Karen Wright captures, in a profound tongue of everyday challenges, humanity’s journey of spiritual awakening.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR – Karen Wright’s life reflects her favorite Marcel Proust quote, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Her nomadic search for Self, exploring numerous careers and locales, became her soul’s curriculum. She learned to let go of fear, listen to inner guidance, and come home to her own spirit. “It is the longest journey and the shortest distance,” she confides. “With a shift in thought, entire lives can change.”
