(Starting 1st August, 2020)
Becoming by Michelle Obama is “an intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States.”
Why have we chosen this book? Great question! Because the message in it is what we are all about here at The Whole Living Hub:
“In telling her story with honesty and boldness, she [Michelle] issues a challenge to the rest of us: Who are we and who do we want to become?”
I’m pretty sure that sums up the entire reason this hub is here – we are all about living a life of wholeness, and the most essential, foundational part of that is knowing WHO we are and WHAT we want to become, and walking that ‘in-between’ journey together, the best that we can.
Michelle’s story truly is powerful, and I (Conny) found myself in tears throughout the course of watching her documentary with the same name (Becoming) on Netflix recently. I felt compelled to share this with everyone when I watched her say over and over again “what you believe about you is what really matters!”
That’s what we hope you find in this book. As we read through it together, a chapter a week, let us begin to discover who we really are and who we want to become.
