Armored: A Memoir with Inspirational and Practical Life Strategies

By Dawn F. Landry

Book Overview

Unconventional, imperfect, determined, yet humorously self-aware, Dawn F. Landry believes that by leaning into our individual armoring, we all have the power within us to courageously inspire, activate, and be an advocate for our loved ones and ourselves.

In ARMORED, Dawn shares her story with honesty and encouragement as she relays how she was stretched and pressed into becoming a "care coach." As a tenured, business professional with no medical background and limited maternal instincts, she details how she redefined the role of caregiver to one that better suited her and her patient (her husband) throughout his three major, life-threatening illnesses. Through these experiences, Dawn has concluded that all of the equipment that we need to not only survive, but to overwhelmingly succeed, in the darkest of times is already wired within us. She leans on Ephesians 6:11-18 as a reminder that we are to put on our full armor to prepare for any battles that we face -- that armoring includes our God-Gifted Strengths, Talents, and Experiences which are unique to us. Has one of life's battles ever brought to your knees? Were you prepared? If you haven't experienced any struggles yet, do you know what you can do in advance to ready yourself?
