Congratulations to client Linda Commito for winning third place in the Inspirational Writing category in the 2012 CIPA EVVY Award for Inspirational Writing for her book, Love is the New Currency. The award is sponsored by the Colorado Independent Publishers Association.
Love Is the New Currency is a collection of inspiring stories about ordinary people who have performed extraordinary acts of love and kindness. Linda places these stories within the contest of a global mindshift, in which the currency of love has a more enduring value than money.
Exercises at the end of each chapter invite readers to consider how love and change works in their lives.
Linda was inspired to write the book when the phrase “love is the new currency” came to her in meditation. She spent three years discovering what was meaningful in people’s lives and what they were doing to create it.
Says Linda: “I was compelled to write this book.”
Linda grew up in New England and received her B.A. in English from Stonehill Colege. She has worked as a teacher, entrepreneur, facilitator, consultant and speaker. For more information, visit her website at www.loveisthenewcurrency.com.
