The Choose Love Book Club, a free virtual monthly book discussion where people join together to connect, learn, and share insights after reading interesting and engaging books, has announced its December title and guest author.

The end of the year is the perfect time to re-evaluate one’s life and get rid of all the clutter that is preventing anyone from living a happy, healthy lifestyle. On December 29, the group plans to host a discussion concerning Release: Create A Clutter Free and Soul Driven Life by Peggy Fitzsimmons, PhD. She will join the 60-minute Zoom scheduled to begin at 7 pm.

Fitzsimmons earned her PhD in counseling psychology at Arizona State University, and has worked in the fields of counseling and healing for over 25 years. She has counseled adolescents and adults with mental health and addiction issues in a variety of clinical settings, including private practice, wilderness therapy, psychiatric inpatient, and residential treatment.

She expanded her clinical work to include holistic and mind-body approaches by training for several years in Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy, as well as Intuition Medicine, a practice of intuitive energy healing.

Fitzsimmons also lived and worked at The Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in New York, and was a consulting producer on Oprah Winfrey’s Emmy-winning series Super Soul Sunday.

Further, she has utilized her expertise to help many people “get their houses in order” through intensive decluttering. While physical clutter is the most obvious, many people are also burdened with mental, emotional, energetic and/or relationship clutter. All forms of clutter reflect the same thing, says Fitzsimmons: a soul not being true to itself.

Released in December 2020 by Waterside Productions, Release: Create a Clutter Free and Soul Driven Life provides practical strategies to release clutter in inner and outer environments and create a more soul-directed life. It introduces the skills of presence, mindfulness, resonance, and inspired action to put readers on the road to freedom, free to live with only the things that help them share their love with the world in their unique ways.

During the Choose Love Book Club visit, Fitzsimmons will share some of those useful strategies and easy-to-use tools.

The program link will be shared upon registration, which can be done at chooselovemovement.org/choose-love-book-club.
