Past The Wishing

“Maybe the MORE you’ve always wanted is going to come from the MORE you think you can’t handle.”

We all have wishes—those deeply personal longings that settle quietly in our hearts. They speak of the more we desire for our relationships, careers, families, and to whom we want to be. So often these wishes get buried underneath fears, lost in the busyness of life, or simply left untried because we just don’t know where to begin. What if we could move past the wishing? What if our hidden dreams could come to life?

In this vulnerable and courageous book, Jen DeWeerdt shares her own personal journey of moving past the wishing and invites you to begin an adventure of your own, determined not to let life pass you by. What do you really want out of your one and only beautiful life? What are you willing to do to get it? It is time to move past the wishing!
