Shifting Shorelines: Messages from a Wiser Self

If only you could meet your younger, greener self, along life's shore, what might you say?

Terry Helwig explores this perennial question and how the human heart, tested by time and adversity, broken open by love and beauty, ripens and bears fruit. Her lyrical and compelling reflections awaken us to our place in the vast universe, to the currents of joy and loss, and to the sacred treasure of being alive.

Inspired by her beloved Florida barrier island, Helwig discovers a landscape of fierce beauty within as well as without. She uncovers the solace of following the phases of the moon, the curve of a shell, and the solstice path of the sun. Nature reconnects us to our true center--that place where wisdom blooms.

In the end, the sea's tides mirror the ebb and flow of life. The dance of these perpetual tides changes the contour of our lives--continually shifting the shoreline of who we are and, more importantly, who we will become.

About the Author
Terry Helwig is an award-winning author whose new book, Shifting Shorelines, has been praised as a twenty-first century Gift from the Sea. Terry's wise, lyrical, and heartwarming prose reveals a deep thinker who finds meaning and correlation between both her inner and outer worlds. A naturalist at heart, with a master's degree in counseling psychology, Terry says nature and synchronicity have been two of her most profound teachers.

Her favorite pastime, combing the beach of a Florida barrier island, is a dream come true--especially for a child whose turbulent upbringing threatened to overwhelm her. Terry recounts her early struggle to keep hope alive in her coming-of-age memoir Moonlight on Linoleum, which won Elle Magazine's 2012 Grand Prix Nonfiction Book of the Year.

Two of the brightest lights in Terry's sky are her husband Jim and her daughter Mandy.
