Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life by Julia Cameron

In Transitions, Julia Cameron reminds us that while the difficulty of change may concern us, accepting it is vitally important. Focused on life as we yearn for it, we neglect to live the life that we have. "This shouldn't be happening," we tell ourselves in difficult seasons. "Once this is over," we think, "I'll get on with my life." Cameron helps us meet change head-on.
Through her revolutionary books and workshops, Cameron has offered life-changing concepts for developing creativity and facilitating personal growth, and thereby inspired thousands to pursue their creative dreams. Now she shares prayers of empowerment, and declarations and reflections on the nature of change and coping. They extend beyond affirmations to facilitate an awakening of the potential of the human soul, and revitalize our abilities to transform our lives in the face of whatever the universe may put in our path.
In the tradition of Heart Steps and Blessings, Cameron reveals the keys she uses to reconnect with the source of her creative spirit. This book, however, is intended as something more than a conscious companion for difficult times. It is planned as a model for the reader to work from to begin to create personal healing prayers and spiritual antidotes to the pain of anguished moments.
With Transitions we are given a companion, and a catalyst to use our gifts the best we can, in order to claim our experience and light our own path.

This book helped me recognize the importance of prayer and faith. I pray often and many times I pray without really trusting God to answer my prayer. Because of this book I have a more focused prayer life. I can pray with the confidence that not only does God hear my prayers but He answers them also. This book also helped me realize how important it is to be patient in the process of waiting for an answer.

Transitions is perhaps a more intimate version of that better known work. In it, Cameron offers prayers and what she calls "declarations" for a changing world. These are presented in a form much like a daily devotional. There is a quotation from a source familiar or obscure, followed by reflections by Cameron herself.Throughout the book, Cameron seeks to remind both herself and the reader that accepting change is the key to thriving through it. She is a tender and thoughtful traveler through the various life events that some would call surprise, others would term crisis, yet all will experience at one time or another. There were quotes and small essays for all types of transitions. The reader takes away something both useful and inspirational. one does not have to have a particular faith to get a whole lot out of these little books. Reading Cameron is like talking things over with a compassionate, qualified therapist or who is neither preachy nor Pollyanna. The suggested actions aren't difficult--they require just a little mental effort or resolution. This is an effective way to connect with the higher power and obtain the strength one needs during times of transition.
