  The Ultimate Act of Being Enough is a profound guide for anyone who has felt their value is chained to their output. 
  For Leisa Wallace-a devoted teacher, mother, and entrepreneur-life operated by the "Worth Paradox": the relentless belief that if she just did enough, she would finally be enough. When an aggressive diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis delivered an uninvited stop, the very foundation of her identity collapsed. Her body had failed the performance test, leaving a haunting question: Who are we when the doing stops? 
  This book is a lifeline for the "human doer" trapped in the cycle of striving. Blending raw, heartfelt memoir with transformative insights from psychology, neuroscience, and leadership theory, Wallace dismantles the lie that metrics measure the soul. 
  Readers will learn to: 
  Escape the Efficiency Trap: Dismantle the cultural mandate that links self-worth to exhaustion. 
  Map Your Constellation: Utilize the signature Value Constellation framework to identify the intrinsic "Core Lights"-like courage, creativity, and faith-that shine regardless of output. 
  Live by Absolute Value: Understand the truth that your inherent worth remains constant, whether you are soaring in success or sitting in the stillness of struggle. 
  This is not a book about bouncing back; it is a profound journey to remembering who you have always been. It is time to stop earning your light and start trusting it.

  Nudges from Grandfather -...

  In 1938 the German Reich inflicted a wave of violent, all night attacks on several Jewish communities (Kristallnacht). Far away in Australia, William Cooper, a distinguished Elder of the Yorta Yorta Nation, led a little-known march to the German Consulate to deliver his protest regarding the violation of those human rights. 
  How contemporary Jewish and Aboriginal communities re-connected with that protest is but one chapter in a book recounting true stories of many miraculous chains of events. 
  Each chapter has its own story, each story its own theme, but common throughout are lessons on the reality of spiritual technologies: following steps of prayerful, contemplative action; acting with ceaseless energy; working mindfully with ancestors; and expressing gratitude for the emerging blessings. 
  We are each connected with the spiritual realm. Some may call spiritual forces ancestors, others angels or still others, the names of forms of divine power in their traditions. Whatever their names, these forces work intimately with us when we seek to be of service to others. When asked to perform an act of service beyond one’s abilities or education, there are those in the next world who can make suggestions.
