Produktbeschreibung

Let go of the Shore, and let the water carry you. Let go of the shore, float into the mystery... You have all you need, it's all inside of you. Close your eyes and breathe, and know that you are safe. No need to make a plan, your heart will be your compass. Just lift your sails in faith and trust that you will arrive. (Lyrics from Karen Drucker’s song, “Let Go of the Shore”) Struggling musician, wedding singer, musical comedienne, garage organizer, lemonade-stand entrepreneur, and competitive swimmer-- Karen Drucker has done all of these things and more, in her indomitable urge to grow and evolve. Often funny, always honest and real, the stories she shares in Let Go of the Shore reveal how she leaves behind fears and limits to emerge as a writer, workshop leader, recording artist, and speaker--a free spirit who lives life to the fullest and inspires us to do so as well. "This is my path. It is a constant process of surrendering to what is, what is next, who I am, what is emerging, what needs to be released. It's about letting go of the safety of the shore and what I have known, while floating into the mystery that is this amazing life." In thirty-six stories and songs based on her life experiences from swimming the English Channel to showing off her best Tarzan call on national TV, Karen Drucker helps us to step boldly into the beckoning waters of our own freedom and growth.
