Different decades. Different circumstances. There are specific events in our lives that shift our paths, write our stories and break our hearts, adding layers, depth and complexity to the clean-slated girls we once were. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter in Part I of Kintsukuroi Heart is a non-fiction stand-alone story. A collection of vignettes offering glimpses of the exact moment in a woman's life when something happens, either by choice or circumstance, that changes her course. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Part II we find the epilogues to these stories, discovering how each event shaped the woman's life. We see how these experiences, though deeply personal and unique, are the threads that intertwine and connect us all, fostering compassion and empathy for one another and, hopefully, for ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Part III we see how, as women, like all forces of nature and works of art, our beauty is formed through refraction, revealed in dimension and contrast, shadow and light, our benevolence becoming both the result and the salve, the subject and lens. The road may be beastly but the result, if allowed, can be spectacular. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Kintsukuroi: kin-tsU-kU-roi\u003c\/strong\u003e (noun) (v. phr.) 'To repair with gold.' The Japanese art of mending broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object rather than something to disguise, understanding that the piece becomes more beautiful for having been broken. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTopics include self-esteem, loss of marriage, grief, depression, substance abuse, alcoholism, addiction and recovery, minimalism, mind-body, holistic wellness and healing, law of attraction, starting over, job loss, career shifts, self-empowerment, taking responsibility for the direction of your life, making positive change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 24, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42156368658567,"sku":"9798201704223","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/462a62bac8c6a43024b53604822ba38b.webp?v=1733243229","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/kintsukuroi-heart-more-beautiful-for-having-been-broken-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
