Life has many lessons to teach, and through our relationships, we discover who we really are. Relationships are the greatest blessings and lessons in our lives, where good or bad. Nothing and no one can exist alone in the world. In her debut as an author, Teriece Cherell teaches us that relationships are critical and necessary to our existence and development as successful, loving, and happy human beings.In this self-help, inspirational book, the author addresses several of the most common elements for fostering healthy, successful relationships and how it contributes to our overall success and growth as individuals. She uses touching personal stories that create laughter, tears and even self-evaluation and reflection. She teaches readers that relationships take on many familial, romantic, casual, platonic or professional. Whatever the form, relationships should be healthy, loving, and beneficial to all parties involved. While all relationships are not created equally, each one has the power to teach us about ourselves, life, and how to deal with others.There is nothing more beautiful or greater than an open, loving heart. When our hearts are open, we can both give and receive that pure unadulterated, unconditional love of God. For God is love, and since we are made in His image and likeness, we too are love. With open hearts, hands and minds, we can begin to experience the fullness of God and live our best lives.
The book is written in 3 sections: Living the life, Learning the Lessons & Loving the Legacy and its packed with not only relevant information but you can feel the passion in her writing and she reveals her hert as she shares her experiences. Cherell was very transparent when sharing her different life lessons.
Her love for God is very evident and the role He plays in her life. She starts her book off with Faith Is, setting the foundation. She covers everything from family, friends and finances to choices, chances and changes.
I love how she closes the book with a letter from a friend which gives us glimpse into her personality and her passionate heart.
This book was very relatable to real life situations.
This was a great book. It made me take a look at myself and face my demons. Relationships are a big part of our lives. Learning how to communicate and understand people will allow us to have lasting relationships. Thank you for this awesome book.
