By a Thread: Resilience Strategies for the Partially Unraveled

Have you ever pulled on a thread only to have a hem come completely unraveled?

Life can be like that, sometimes…

One thing after another seemingly falls apart…

Then you heed your gut, and the shift hits the fan…

What you reconstruct looks different, yet somehow feels completely right…

By a Thread offers useful strategies—large and small—for overcoming hardship when everything feels like it’s too much. From deep breathing to grieving, you’ll be inspired to do more than simply “hang on,” and leverage the ideas included in the book to develop your own strategies.

It’s a truth that we all face adversity at some point in our lives; it’s how we respond to and recover from it that makes all the difference.
