Description: Walker by Jill Loree Walker is a memoir about one womans spiritual journey to open her heart and develop compassion. Through it all, her own gumption would be her steady companion. It starts out with a young girl raised in a singing Lutheran family where things looked good on the outside. But inside, Jill Loree was struggling. Later, she would "trudge the dreary road of happy destiny," as the AA Big Book puts it, getting sober at 26 and picking up only one white chip. Thats not nothing, considering that most of Jill Lorees childhood memories are infused with her fathers drinking. Her mother, on the other hand, had a controlling, co-dependent streak that wouldnt end. Sounds dreary, right? In this spiritual memoir however, Jill Loree artfully lifts the story out of the ditch and finds the grace weaving between the lines. Walker also merges in a touch of poetry-her own, her sons and even her Dads-adding heart, depth and levity to the telling. Her gentle wit and brisk writing pace keeps things moving along. True to the title, theres no need to sit and stew in misery. Today, Jill Lorees spiritual path is filled with the light of Christ, which is what she has discovered emerges from the core of ones being after clearing away the detritus accumulated in youth-just as the Pathwork Guide said it would. Thats the deeper message she is now passionate about sharing, and which shines through in this warm telling of the story of her life. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography A neatnik with a ready sense of humor, Jill Lorees first job as a root-beer-stand carhop in Northern Wisconsin was an early sign that things could only get better. She would go on to throw pizzas and bartend while in college, before discovering that the sweet spot of her 30-year sales-and-marketing career would be in business-to-business advertising. A true Gemini with a degree in Chemistry and a flair for writing, she enjoys the challenge of thinking creatively about scientific topics. Her brain fires on both the left and right sides. That said, her real passion in life has been her spiritual path. Raised in the Lutheran faith, she became a more deeply spiritual person in the rooms of AA, a spiritual recovery program, starting in 1989. In 1997, she was introduced to the wisdom of the Pathwork, which she describes as "having walked through the doorway of a fourth step and found the whole library." She completed four years of Pathwork Helpership training in 2007 followed by four years of apprenticing and discernment before stepping into her full Helpership in 2011. She has been a teacher in the Transformation Program offered at Sevenoaks Retreat Center in Madison, Virginia, operated by Mid-Atlantic Pathwork, where she also led marketing activities for over two years and served on the Board of Trustees. In 2012, Jill completed four years of Kabbalah training in a course called the Souls Journey, achieving certification for hands-on healing using the energies embodied in the tree of life. Not bad for a former pom-pom squad captain who once played Dolly in Hello Dolly! She is now the proud mom to two adult children, Charlie and Jackson, who were born and raised in Atlanta. Having grown weary of borrowing other peoples last names, Jill now happily uses her middle name as her last-its pronounced loh-REE. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, writing, yoga and hiking, especially in the mountains. As she turns the corner onto the back nine in life, she has consciously decoupled from the corporate world and is now dedicating her life to writing and spiritual teaching.
