Eat Your Crusts: Life Lines and Laugh Lines of a Sweetly Warped Woman

At age 40, due to health issues that led to the closing of her business, Lois Howard Lenarduzzi felt her identity shrivel and pretty much die. The work she had to do to reinvent herself opened up a whole new world of exploring consciousness and the human condition, as well as the arts of self-expression.
Eat Your Crusts tracks her journey in the context of Lois’s life as a whole. Today, Lois is a free-spirited, don’t-tie-me-down or tell-me-what-to-do kinda gal who continues to find new and exciting ways to play with and embrace parts of her that need healing, comfort, and compassion … so she can authentically and unapologetically live free.
Self-mastery is not for the faint-hearted. It means deepening into yourself and discovering the old programming that’s been running the show since childhood. This creates more space to discover our mind-boggling capabilities in order to bring our own unique gifts to the world.

“Lois reminds us that life doesn’t have to be a grease-lined slippery slope to misery. It can be an exhilarating zipline to personal mastery that catapults us through the canopy of delight, at least as often as it zooms us through the undergrowth of courage.” ~ Susan Crossman, From the “Foreword”

Lois Howard Lenarduzzi moseyed into the art world quite by accident. Due to health issues, she gave up her massage therapy practice and began a journey back to herself through the arts of creative self-expression-writing, dance, painting, drumming, and singing. She continues to find new ways to truly know and show herself, which can be terrifying but also liberating in these trying times of change. Lois believes that honouring her callings continues to open the creative portal to the bigger, bolder, and more beautiful in her life.Lois currently lives in Ancaster, Ontario, with her husband, John.
