"A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste reveals how the darkest
traumas and misfortunes of our private histories can be transformed
into treasure in the form of deeper purpose. In this brave and
innovative book, Kelly Sullivan Walden takes the mystery out of
such alchemy by systematically revealing, through personal stories
and her breakthrough 4-step method, how to face and embrace our
nightmares (both waking and sleeping) in order to transmute them
into fuel for creating the life of our dreams. This empowering book
provides the gift of clarity--the means through which to excavate
the mud of our pasts and uncover glimmers of our unique purpose for
being alive."--Aspen Matis, bestselling author of Girl in the Woods
and Your Blue Is Not My Blue
"As Carl Jung once said, 'One does not become enlightened by
imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.'
In Kelly Sullivan Walden's latest book, A Crisis is a Terrible
Thing to Waste, she does just that. She not only reveals her own
shadowy stories and shares how she mined the gold from them, but
she leaves a trail of breadcrumbs behind, along with a system to
help us take our disempowered stories and transform them into the
launching pad for our greatest compassion and contribution to
humanity. And she does all this with the ability to belly-laugh at
the dark, making sure it has no choice but to turn into
light."--Cyndi Dale, bestselling and award-winning author of The
Subtle Body
"Death never happens no matter what anyone tells you! There is only
life... in all its iterations. I was lucky to share that with Kelly
Sullivan Walden after her near-death experience, of which she
writes about in this book. Once we know that life doesn't end when
the body does, we can get on with the business of living with more
freedom and joy. That's what Kelly talks about in this book--she
gives us the steps and tools to transform our tragic into
magic...one metaphorical or literal lightning strike at a
time!"--Dannion Brinkley, New York Times bestselling author of
Saved by the Light
"For many of us, one of the muddiest areas of our lives is in the
realm of our intimate relationships. If we want to attract and
sustain the soulmate relationship of our dreams, we need to stop
glossing over our heartbreaks. Instead, we need to read Kelly
Sullivan Walden's latest book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to
Waste, to help us shine a bright light on our crippling love-life
woes to transform them into WOWs--and thus, become magnetic to the
love we desire and deserve."--Arielle Ford, bestselling author of
The Soulmate Secret
"From one who is no stranger to the mud, phenomenal Kelly and her
amazing book is the perfect inspiration to remind us to STOP
wasting our funky moments--they are so deliciously (albeit
intensely) rife with learning, growing...and let's face it, Sacred
Exfoliation! I highly recommend it as a way to ensure the
transformation of your tragic into your magic.--Allana Pratt,
author of From Heartbreak to HeartMates
"Having our dream life--a life where our greatest desires come to
pass--is our birthright. But it doesn't materialize without us
learning some hard lessons along the way. I prefer the easy
way--don't get me wrong--but I'm grateful for my missteps and
challenges because they've deepened me and given me access to
valuable aspects of my inner wisdom that I never would've
discovered otherwise. To help us flip the tragic into magic, I
recommend the radically simple but profound 4-step process Kelly
Sullivan Walden writes about in her book, A Crisis is a Terrible
Thing to Waste."--Christy Whitman, New York Times bestselling
author
"We all face adversities, challenges, and many face crisis that
leave them paralyzed. But what if in these times the gold is hidden
under the mud? Kelly ignites us with practical tools and soulful
wisdom to find our inner magician to free us from our personal cage
and give us wings to believe that indeed we are the alchemist of
our own life! And how grand is that?! Read the treasures of this
book and find your magic tools."--Agapi Stassinopoulos, bestselling
author of Speaking with Spirit
