I Know Why The Cheshire Cat Grins: When ShiFt Happens

I Know Why The Cheshire Cat Grins: When Shift Happens… 30 Lessons on Life, Love and Fear is a poignant collection of thought-provoking essays by author R. Ayité Okyne. Using a very approachable style, each essay uses the nudity and prism of the author’s life to give a unique perspective on some principles for living including forgiveness, envy, jealousy, religion and a lot more. The book celebrates transformations – leaps of faith, and dives of surrender: when shift happens. I Know Why The Cheshire Cat Grins avoids a dogmatic view, and makes us question and re-think the views on life that we take for granted, encouraging the reader to “be more” – to shift the paradigm. Witty, serious, reflective, and tongue-in-cheek in turn, I Know Why The Cheshire Cat Grins is an inspiring read and will keep you thinking – and shifting – long after you put it down.
