A bit about my new book - Krizzy and the Fireflies

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share something new that I’m really excited about.

I’ve just launched my new children’s book, Krizzy and the Fireflies: A Book About Feeling the Feels, and this one feels especially meaningful to me.

This story came from a very real place.

I remember what it was like to be a small child lying in bed at night, feeling scared of the dark. The room felt bigger, the shadows felt r Read more of this blog post »

“Patience & Perseverance in all things is my way forward”
Kerisma A Vere

“Learning and transformation happen in layers. We rarely uncover every layer the first time we encounter something, no matter how hard we try.”
Kerisma A Vere, The Light Switch Myth: A begginer's guide to creating realistic and sustainable change

“one little trick I have found helpful: I often ask myself , what direction are your feet pointed? Even if I dont have it in me to move forward, simply setting the intention-imagining my feet pointing forward-can reframe my sense of progress”

“Learning and transformation happen in layers. We rarely uncover every layer the first time we encounter something, no matter how hard we try.”
Kerisma A Vere, The Light Switch Myth: A begginer's guide to creating realistic and sustainable change

“The ability to do hard things is perhaps the most useful ability you can foster in yourself or your children. And proof that you are someone who can do them is one of the most useful assets you can have on your life resume.

Our self-image is composed of historical evidence of our abilities. The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be.

If you can run marathons or throw double your body weight over your head, the sleep deprivation from a newborn is only a mild irritant. If you can excel at organic chemistry or econometrics, onboarding for a new finance job will be a breeze.

But if we avoid hard things, anything mildly challenging will seem insurmountable. We’ll cry into TikTok over an errant period at the end of a text message. We’ll see ourselves as incapable of learning new skills, taking on new careers, and escaping bad situations.

The proof you can do hard things is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself.”
Nat Eliason
