About The Book & Reviews: "I felt chills go through my body multiple times while reading through La'Shay's genuine devotionals. Being a young woman of faith starting to build her professional career and navigate through unexpected difficulties in social, vocational, and spiritual realms of life myself, I found La'Shay's testimonies, reflections, and sincere advise deeply encouraging and inspiring. La'Shay's friendly, loving, yet charismatic style of writing made me feel as though she was my close confidant and mentor. I strongly recommend Living Well and Living Well Loved to anyone, especially to young struggling women, seeking words of wisdom and strength." Julie Kim - I am a recent college graduate working as a research assistant "We all have our own ideas about how life should go, and what is best for us at the time. But this book had helped me realize, it was never in my control, to begin with. It is then you start to focus on the things that are most important. Yourself. And it is then everything you prayed for begins to present itself in ways you could have never imagined." With Love, Tamara Miller Mother, Artist, Designer & CEO Atlanta, GA Great book for women of all ages! Men you should get a copy as well, you will have a better insight into what women experience. There are pearls of wisdom for you fellas too! Or buy a copy for the ladies in your life! About the Book: The book is a collection of: Daily Devotionals, Prayers, Proverbs and Other Pearls of Wisdom to Thrust You Into Your Purpose. This book is a piece of my heart! It is about the daily transitions of life that we go through as women and going after your purpose and not shallow things that shift. This book is about learning who you are and who you were created to be. I open up about my own struggles and victories. I provide insight on many things, some of which include advice on courtship, waiting for a man of God, how to date with purpose and how I met, courted and married my husband in less than a year! This book will make you laugh, cry, jump, scream all at once. The book is written in a very simple format that is easy to read, however at times I use jargon that could be considered Christianese. Christianese is a word used to describe language that is most often employed in Christian communities. I know not whether you are reading this book as a follower of Jesus Christ. Therefore if the language is new to you, well you can "Google it." Other statements you may want to seek out a follower of Christ and ask questions. You can also correspond with me through email me lashayscrayton@gmail.com At other times throughout the book you will see language that reflects a journal entry, or even homage being paid the friend who supported me through that time. Let this book be a great conversation starter for you. But more importantly, it will make you feel human, of value and teach you little things I have learned along the way to live well and to live well loved.About the Author: Mrs. La'Shay S.
