A Plentiful Harvest: Creating Balance and Harmony Through the Seven Living Virtues
Terrie Williams
Warner Books
$19
Review by: Spenser Hicks
This book will better you and
anyone who reads it is the best way to put it. I was not able to put it down
and some of the points really resonated with me as actual good things to do the
find value out of life. The author, Terrie Williams, is a successful PR
practitioner who no doubt has a hectic lifestyle that gives her the credibility
to write this book. She started her own agency entitled The Terrie
Williams Agency and represents many celebrities such as Jesse and Janet
Jackson. In her book she promotes 7 Kwanzaa virtues as the recipe for a healthy
meaningful lifestyle: calling, thrift, responsibility, community, love,
spirituality, and creativity. She gives the suggestion that all readers spend
some time each week to reflect on aspects of these virtues. I gave it a try
very skeptically and found myself thinking about stuff I never had before. I
connected most with creativity and found myself taking some of her suggestions
like making other people happy with my creative efforts in order to develop my
creative side even more. The book really gets in depth and is designed to be a
fifty-two week process. It might have helped a little to know about Kwanzaa going into
the reading but she covers the topics with ease and explains them well. I found
myself thinking about my soul and what type of a person I really wanted to be
and how to balance my life in order to do this. It urged me to find my creative
side and the journals are a great way to get ideas down on paper. I really
wouldn’t change a thing; it’s a great book by a very experienced woman.
