Overview
When Janet Howard's 25-year marriage fell apart, her life came crumbling down. As she sat in the rubble, she realized that the only way to move forward was to confront a painful past and learn to let go. Leaving her 33-year career, Janet headed to Hawaii to put an end to what was and find the beginning of what's next. Embarking on a vision quest, she immersed herself in the natural world and received a message of trust and divine guidance. She started to see nature as a safe place to learn valuable lessons for navigating life and healing. Janet offers hope and insights through inspirational essays and heart-centered stories to help others feel less alone with life's challenges and instead embrace difficult life experiences as initiations, offering wisdom and hidden gifts. On her spiritual journey, Janet realized that, creating real change in the world, - environmentally, socially, politically, spiritually, - starts with ourselves. Heal ourselves, heal each other, and heal the world.

About the author
Field Notes on Letting Go is Janet Howard's first book. Janet's passion for the planet drives her lifestyle, seva (selfless service) and spiritual practice. After a 33-year career in health care sustainability, she stepped out beyond her garden gate, outside the boundary of her perceived sense of safety, into the wide-open world. With a focus on healing and learning how to slow down, Janet continued her lessons from nature and documented her journey. Janet is happiest when she is with her children, playing with friends, quietly exploring nature and adventuring. She splits her time among Massachusetts, Maine, Hawaii and wherever she is drawn to visit.
