OverviewSacred Promise is an amazing collection of true stories courageously exploring the deeper meaning of existence, the journeys we travel, and the challenges we overcome, inviting us to consider the true purpose of our lives, and how we can take action on the sacred promises we make for ourselves. This book has a profound message; if we are true to the inner voice that guides us, we will find meaning, beauty, clarity and direction, even in the darkest of times as we navigate our way to our true purpose. This collection connects us to voices deeply embedded in diversity and unique perspectives, the authors sharing their stories and the sacred promises they have made to themselves, each one so different, yet brought together by the collective sisterhood and a universal longing for hope and positive change for the world.

This book, Sacred Promise, was written by Tererai Trent and an amazing group of women. I'm delighted to write the foreword for this book, as the authors speak to the MAGIC of women driven by purpose. Despite the challenges we face, storytellers and their stories warm our hearts, and there is something magical when women gather to tell their lived experiences. While each story encourages readers to take brave initiatives to strengthen their lives, taken as a whole, these lived experiences offer life lessons for global healing while nurturing the sacred purpose that exists inside us all. This book is full of valuable information that can help us to hear the voices that have been echoing in our hearts for a long time. To echo Tererai's poignant words, ""When a woman pens a story that connects her to her deepest truth, she heals herself, inspires her generation, and rights the wrongs done to generations before her."" This collection inspires the soul. It does not tout successes and accolades but truly shows the reader that behind all that success, or the finished glossy product, there are ugly, hard-earned lessons we don't get to see. What a beautiful way to explore the life-changing promises we make to ourselves, ultimately creating a powerful book that many will relate to. It is shown in this anthology how the women have acknowledged and worked through their failures and worries throughout their lives. These stories breathe life into other women's confidence and pave the way for their own successful journeys. In her award-winning book, The Awakened Woman: Remembering & Reigniting Our Sacred Dreams, Dr. Tererai Trent talks about the ripple effect that can change the world when we women, collectively, tell our stories. Tererai is committed to exploring the beauty of our diversity in ever-deeper ways, as evidenced in this book of sacred promises. Collectively, the writers have created a wonderful cross-pollination of insights that have the potential to teach and develop our sisterhood, as well as the rest of the global community. Tererai, my friend, please accept my gratitude for sharing these stories with the world. We need the wisdom of these unsung trailblazers and pathfinders, the torchbearers who have kept their sacred promises and found redemption against all odds. To the authors in this book, thank you for your brave voices and for the tapestry of stories that have the potential to inspire and awaken others and ultimately heal the world. And to you, the reader, if you truly believe you have the right to live your truth and your dreams, then this book is for you. If you have been looking for stories that speak the truth without camouflaging anything, I'm sure you will love this book. - Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love" Foreword by Elizabeth Gilbert.
