A Plentiful Harvest

Living life with harmony, purpose and balance is the most prosperous way one can live and author Terrie Williams would agree. In her book, “A Plentiful Harvest: Creating Balance and Harmony Through the Seven Living Virtues,” Williams provides guidance on how to live a harmonious life through a 52 week journaling guide based inspired by the seven Kwanzaa virtues – calling, thrift, responsibility, community, love, spirituality and creativity.

Her experiences and struggles are what brought her to her success today being the founder and president of her own public relations agency, Terrie Williams Agency.  She represents clients such as Eddie Murphy and Johnnie Cochran. Williams is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist.

The process of this book is meant to be read during the span of 52 weeks, that way one can learn how to balance life’s “seasons” and reap each ones rewards. For my PR Writing class, I was unable to follow this plan due to the semester’s length and busy schedule, but I still gained a lot of knowledge from reading the book. Even if one doesn’t follow the guide, the reader can still gain a lot of knowledge and positive life lessons. The book is about finding satisfaction in life through meditations and weekly practices.

Although this book seems to be geared toward people who may be going through a mid-life crisis, I think college-aged students could take away important lessons from it. Although the book is a bit lengthy, its contents will be beneficial to anyone that reads it.
