“Hope is a magical, suspended state of becoming, between what is and what our souls know to be right. We don’t float in hope, we actively swim towards the congruence, tugged by the current of truth. To hope is our nature.” ~ Sarah Wilson

The last year has provided many reflections and questions even to the point of what our existence is going forward. I have been pondering such questions; What are my values? Am I living them?. If you are feeling the ‘itch’ as Sarah likes to call it, then I believe you will also fall head over heels, like I have for this book. It will make you get real with your moral beliefs, gently shake and challenge how you are living your life.

It has been some time since I have read a non-fiction book such as this, that has re-ignited a fire, in a sense, at my core. Sarah is not afraid to explore and lean into pain and discomfort and wholeheartedly doing all she can to fight to save our planet in this climate crisis. ‘I want to know I have done everything I can’. Sarah believes that becoming okay with struggle and pain is a steering towards meaning and a shared collective human experience that can bring us to re-connect. Brene Brown tells Sarah “you lean so far in, it hurts”.

It is so refreshing to find an original thinker motivated by the drive to do things differently, or just better. I was so inspired to learn that upon selling her ‘I Quit Sugar’ business, one of the world’s fastest growing start-ups, she donated all the proceeds of her business to charity. Motivated by not wanting to profit from the ‘wellness’ industry and the pureness of sharing what has been instrumental for her in her journey and health. An act of service, just like this account provides the reader. (Im very inspired, if you cannot already tell?!).

It is my hope that this book is shared and it ignites the start of something for you also.
