Life is a Garden to Cultivate is a book that will guide readers to reflect on their lives and discover the power they have to live a joyful and fulfilling life. By sharing stories about her personal experiences as a Latina immigrant woman with a physical disability, and her professional experiences as an educator for students with disabilities for thirty years, Pascuala Herrera describes the lessons she has learned that have steered her towards identifying and working towards overcoming her life’s challenges. Using the ABCs, she encourages readers to reflect on barriers that hinder them from living a better life. Each chapter includes reflection questions that assist readers in making new discoveries about their own lives.
Life can be difficult for everyone, but it can also be marvelous! Like a beautiful garden, everyone’s life needs to be constantly cultivated to have a better life. Working on our lives is never easy or ever complete, but with reflection one is led to understand the necessary changes that will lead to personal growth. Each person has one life so it should be lived the best way possible. Just like a beautiful flower, a person’s life can flourish no matter what obstacles are faced.
