Bloom

“A story of transformation, courage, and inspiration. I highly recommend this book to everyone to read, and not only those who are going through challenges.”

— Anita Moorjani, New York Times best-selling author of Dying to Be Me and What If This Is Heaven?

A Tale of Courage, Surrender and Breaking Through Upper Limits

When you’re in the thick of one of life’s biggest lessons, it isn’t easy to trust in its purpose. To find a hidden blessing is often impossible, even if you had the energy to try. So life teaches you presence instead, and that creates more space. When we have more space, the blessings begin to reveal themselves, subtly at first but always with love.

Bloom is a deeply personal and inspiring memoir reminding you that whether your lessons arrive through illness, trauma or any other unexpected upheaval, life loves you so much more than you know. By learning to surrender into the lessons, life is then able to bestow the blessings awaiting you.

'It only takes a moment for a miracle.'

—Bronnie Ware

Why I wrote Bloom

I didn’t anticipate writing a second memoir after The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying—especially while suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. The disease crippled me; I couldn’t walk. I also resisted trialling pharmaceutical meds. I didn’t want to subject my body to foreign chemicals, unlikely to resolve the disease. In addition to my condition, I navigated life with a new baby as a single mum. Life was ridiculously hard.

Writing Bloom was a continuous lesson in surrender. I didn't want to share these very vulnerable moments of my life. I resisted sharing on such a deep level, especially since the lessons were so in my face. But my process of opening up and being honest with myself (and future readers) was healing.

In time, I found the courage to confront my upper limits and surrender to life’s blessings. My determination to find gratitude every step of the way is how I learned to bloom in a field of formidable challenges.

'With life throwing such an enormous curveball my way, it was actually throwing me a loving call home— a call that offered me the opportunity to grow more into who I was truly meant to be.'

— Bronnie Ware, Bloom
