Becoming me, BY Hand: One woman's personal process
Publication date AUGUST 2023
Layla's book, Becoming Me, By Hand: One Woman’s Personal Process is a fresh and eclectic combination of memoir and guided journal, blending free-writing, prose, and cultural commentary focused on both inspiration and a call to action for a more actualized life and self-awareness. Layla's wisdom is gained from her own personal struggles and resulting spiritual growth, as well as positive experiences in her Reiki and intuitive consulting practice, which she began after being diagnosed with and then overcoming cancer.
Becoming Me, By Hand inspires through Layla detailing her own personal growth through the investigation, through both experience and journaling, of her own life lessons. Layla not only writes about her life but invites the reader to write about their own lives as well, by using in-depth, thought-provoking prompts. The 69 topics include deep and profound life lessons such as Humility, Determination, Truth, Strength, Temptation, Compassion, Boldness, Flexibility, Perseverance, and Possibility.
Becoming Me, By Hand embraces the power of intuitive writing, which has proven to be life-changing for both her and
her clients, with clients using intuitive writing to reflect, release and process trapped emotions, and grow through the
writing process in her Reiki healing practice.
Becoming Me, By Hand will enjoy a broad and eclectic audience; one in need of both the inspirational, candid messages in the book as well as the opportunity to journal about your own life in a way that is not only deliberate and guided by the author, but also allows her readers to find catharsis by writing about their own experiences.
Engaging in both the reading and writing within the book not only provides an opportunity to take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings, but ultimately allows you to find your own power in doing so, which is the real defining power and beauty of this unique work.
