Find the inspiration you need to embrace your next adventure in life with confidence.

It can be difficult and scary to take that first step into your future and surrender to the unknown. This illustrated collection of poetry and essays will empower you to strike out on your journey with courage and grace, drawing on invaluable lessons from nature.

In You Are Only Just Beginning, popular Instagram poet and bestselling author Morgan Harper Nichols reimagines the classic heroine's journey—from the very first call to adventure, through trials, hardships, and new relationships, all the way back home—and offers key lessons and affirmations to encourage and equip you every step of the way.

As you travel your own journey of self-discovery, you're invited to:

• Cultivate the courage you need to follow your passions • Develop curiosity about the natural world around you • Find comfort and inspiration for the inevitable trials on your journey • Reflect on how your past has prepared you • Step out in wonder and faith, knowing there is more for you

Morgan's signature art fills every page of You Are Only Just Beginning, making it a gorgeous addition to your bedside or coffee table. This is a beautiful and empowering gift to give yourself or others for birthdays, holidays, graduations, or New Year's—any time there's a new beginning ahead.

You cannot control all of what's to come, but You Are Only Just Beginning will help you see that what you need for the journey ahead is already embedded in the world around you. Come and find the courage to honor your soul's divine cravings—to step out in faith knowing that goodness and Grace are never far away. The unknown waits for you and now is the time to go.
