GETTING TO CENTER Pathways to Finding Yourself Within the Great Unknown

The dancer, blogger, and workshop facilitator Marlee Grace knows a lot about remaking herself in the midst of shifting moods, ephemeral goals, and major league distractibility. In style and substance her writing is informed by her experience as a gay romantic with long-standing addiction and self-esteem issues. This latest of her two personal growth books will be appreciated by anyone with a counterculture lifestyle whose emotional processing and operating habits need tweaking. Her clearly articulated and assertive narration works well to express her take-charge attitude about life's chaos and challenges. Her occasionally awkward timing and somewhat pedantic tone won't keep the listeners she's targeting from absorbing the guidance she offers. These aspects of her reading seem to be part of her power, the resulting rough edges of her hardscrabble journey that authenticate her pointed advice.
