Centered Peace: How to Get it and Keep it

by Clavel Nelson

In Centered Peace: How to Get it and Keep it, a vivid portrayal of life’s struggles is discussed like never before. This is spot-on for younger and older adults alike. Busyness, rampant fear, deep pain, and constant confusion are discussed. Nelson’s memory of growing up, running around barefooted, and feeling carefree is overshadowed by activities from her childhood neighborhood. She is not phased by this, however, because she eventually learns that her constant feeling of not fitting in, losing her brother at a young age, and dealing with despondency, were seeds for her determination, courage, resilience, and inner peace. Centered Peace: How to Get it and Keep it, includes fun exercises and simple strategies. The importance of righting relationships, recognizing your power, and using music to find and keep your peace is discussed. Nelson’s message is simple but powerful.

About the author

Clavel Nelson was born on a wonderful summer day in the beautiful Island of Jamaica. She became a registered nurse in 1991 and later earned her Masters Degree from Rutgers College of Nursing (Newark) in 2002, and her Doctorate Degree from the University of South Alabama in 2014. She always knew she loved writing but her busy life kept getting in the way. Several years ago she started writing her first book and despite many interruptions, she was determined to finish it. Finally, her dream was realized and she published her first book entitled Centered Peace: How to Get it and Keep it.
She has worked in many healthcare settings, including acute care, community health, occupational health, school health, and home health/hospice. She has nearly thirty years of nursing experience caring for and treating people from various backgrounds. Clavel states that during many of these professional and personal encounters, she provided compassion, hope, and encouragement. Most importantly, these encounters laid the groundwork for courage, gratitude, humility, Christ-centeredness, and one-day-at-a-time peace.
She describes herself as a life-long learner who loves quiet and is determined to keep her inner peace. She loves gardening, reading, and absolutely loves action movies and comedy shows.
