A Splendid Mess: Chronicles of a practically enlightened misfit - Paperback

by Annie Paquette (Author)

Do you feel like your life doesn't reflect who you truly are?Is something inside you screaming, "There is so much more to me than this!"

This is a story for anyone who feels like they don't fit in, like something is wrong with them, like they are stuck and can't figure out how to set themselves free.

In this insightful and playful memoir, Annie Paquette leaves it all on the table- the ups, downs, and turnarounds of a highly sensitive woman searching for her truth and voice in the world.

At 46, Annie feels trapped in her life. Like most HSPs (Highly Sensitive Person), she has spent her life feeling like she didn't belong. Living with chronic illness from a young age only added to the crushing pain of not living as the person she knew herself to be.

This book is the story of how, one morning, she hears a whisper suggesting she begin a new, more purposeful life across the continent. And how, defying logic and caution, she boldly answers the call and decides to chronicle her soulful pursuit of happiness in a spirited diary that lets us in on her splendid mess.

This story was not written after the fact and made pretty with a bow. It is a refreshingly truthful account of what a quest for purpose really looks like for those of us who haven't mastered our lives yet.

Whether you identify as a sensitive person, an HSP, an empath, being neurodivergent or autistic, you will discover a kindred soul in these Chronicles of a Practically Enlightened Misfit and come away with a new sense of compassion, love, and appreciation for your own uniqueness.
