The power of story influences the way Barbara A. Bernard learns, teaches, and lives each day. Her extensive experience in education, psychology, mediation, human resource development, and cross-cultural communication inform and enhance her writing.
Images of the Milky Way by artist Melissa Abbott appear throughout the book Leaving Shore to remind us that we are always part of a bigger picture. Melissa lives on an island in Alaska. From her waterfront cabin, Melissa has observed that, when facing challenges, "Everything is about leaving shore."

Birthdays of the Soul: Seeing Yourself Change in Times of Sea Change
When faced with change or challenge, how do you respond?
A birthday of the soul may occur when we choose to grow in the midst of major change or in the aftermath of loss. In the wake of unexpected, unimaginable or unwanted events we have an opportunity to recognize the possibilities within these experiences. Through personal reflection and the stories of others, Barbara A. Bernard offers illustrations to support us as we navigate and grow throughout our own journeys.
Birthdays of the Soul inspires us to identify the potential in change and to transform what once was resisted, unrecognized or painful into a passion for living.
