Daring to Dream: Reflections on the Year I Found Myself

Daring to Dream: Reflections on the Year I Found Myself is an intimate chronicle of loss and renewal, of love and grief, of focus and confusion, but most of all it is a story of growth and transformation. Daring to Dream takes the reader through a year in the author’s life—a year of rebirth following the end of a 32-year marriage—into those private moments of anguish and reflection where we discover that we have the strength, wisdom and power to grow from life’s most challenging experiences. “It is about a year in time, a year when I lived on the top of a mountain in near total silence and found myself. It was a year of sadness and loss but, more importantly, it was a year of incredible magic.” Karen Ely’s journey toward an authentic life and a stronger sense of herself is both heartbreaking and exhilarating. Throughout the book, her honesty reaches out invitingly, encouraging all women to turn their attention inward and listen to the beatings of their own hearts.
