Right at that moment, when I was at my lowest, I somehow found strength to look into my heart and see I had a choice. And at that moment I made a decision that would stick with me, a decision that I could not take back, a decision I could not turn away from. I decided to choose joy. Imagine being a bullied and insecure fifteen-year-old but finding the beauty of life at every step. Imagine living a life of accomplishment and success, only to feel depressed, anxious, and stuck. Imagine knowing there is more to life and understanding with absolute certainty that there is magic, especially in making a difference and living with open heart. Within a poignant collection of reflections, Eli Bauer shares a glimpse into her decade-long journey to find alignment. As she leads others down a path inward that provides insight to the magic she wanted to share with the world as a fifteen-year-old and how, at age thirty, she found the magic again and started living a life she had long forgotten, Eli reminds us of the importance of living authentically and with an open heart. Stardust and Magical Things shares insight into a woman's journey of authenticity as she overcame her doubts and came home to herself to embrace a life of acceptance and self-love.
