In her debut book, The Courage to Sit, author Gigi Brown reacquaints herself with the truth of who she is with the help of her inner child, Marla. During 40 days and nights of meditating, Gigi meets up with not only Marla, but other ancestors and guides who come forth to bring her messages. Each guide brings a special message that assists the author with healing. This is a book that shares the beauty of coming into acknowledgement of one’s power. Perhaps this is what makes this book such a gift - it gives from the spirit of the author to encourage others that peace, unconditional love, and joy are all possible if we have the courage to sit in silence with our thoughts. Gigi Brown’s reflections on her experience writing The Courage to Sit. I gained 22 pounds writing this book as I fought the resistance from myself to bring this book to fruition. This isn’t the book that I set out to write, but it is the book that came forth from my soul. I’m happy to have relinquished my feelings of unworthiness, self-doubt, guilt, self-loathing, and fear. It is certainly a book of personal healing and provides insight on what I call superpowers, that helped me move me into a state of wellbeing. To you, the reader, I pray steady and unblocked enlightenment. And so it is! The Courage to Sit is the first book in the trilogy of Courage books. The second book, The Courage to Rise, should be out in the spring of 2020 and The Courage to Be, the third book will be out in the spring of 2021.
