After 25 years in higher education, and a career she loves, Linda Gonzalez began applying the same motivational coaching strategies that she uses to empower students to support her own purpose and dreams. In her chapter, "Reclaiming Wonder", Linda talks about her journey of becoming a best-selling author of her first children's book, If Acorns Could Talk. Fueled by her desire to write a book as a treasure for her granddaughters, Linda discovered a beautiful sense of wonder that she hopes will carry her into a new decade. By sharing her story, she hopes to inspire and collaborate with other women willing to stretch their beliefs about all that is possible in their lives. This book is a collaboration of powerful essays to inspire women who dream of finding their purpose, moving through obstacles, and discovering a life of joy and peace.
