Everyone needs an Erin Lawler Patterson in their lives.
Back for a second time by popular demand, the Goodness Chick, as she is known world-wide, shares moments from her latest book Conversations For Good: Listening and Learning from Our Neighbors Around the World.
It has been said this book is “Eat Pray Love” meets “Chicken Soup For The Soul!”
One of her reviews said it beautifully:
"In these COVID-19 days of isolation and quarantine, it is refreshing to read a book like this. In the summer of 2019, the author, her husband and their three-year-old son set out on an around the world odyssey to learn about other countries, diverse peoples and themselves. The book is a casual mix of all three....Lawler Patterson advocates reasonable risk-taking, a sense of wonder, kindness to all, compassion for those less fortunate, and a re-examination of the values by which we lead our lives each day. In these polarized times, hearing these messages offers comfort as well as challenge." Warren
Stemming from a conversation during morning coffee one day at their then home in Medford Lakes, NJ, her and her husband made the decision to leave their secure professions, throw caution to the wind and give it up to God. It was then they began the year-long process of planning one of the most memorable trips they would ever embark upon. On a shoestring budget and packs on their backs, they bought a one-way ticket not sure when they'd be returning. Conversations For Good tells the stories of the lives of the many people they touched and who touched them through their volunteer service in local assistance programs.
