This Luscious Life in Bloomington, MN

As author Kelley Black writes: "This book is about living a luscious life. It's my heartfelt wish for every reader to live one. And since there is no recipe for simply knowing, no how-to-method for claiming personal power, no power-through technique for being receptive . . . I decided to write from my life experience. This life has cracked me open through joy and suffering. I can honestly say that it's been an odyssey of experiences both exhilarating in their happiness and excruciating in their pain. Somehow, its deep polarities have arrived in equal measure. I've been sparked by a profound awe for something unseen, something more than the external coincidence of my time alive. I know that for every bit of pain, I've also experienced the ecstasy of pleasure and pure joy. I also know that all of it, somehow, has worked in my favor to move me to a deeper connection and expression of my true self. My wish in writing this book is to give as I've received. Gratitude. Forgiveness. Love. These are our birthright. This book is my attempt at giving back to the divine source in a world that has held me up even as I've fallen. It is my love letter to life."
