I Am You...And You Are Me
F Nathan, author
As a child, Evelyn always felt a need to identify her greater purpose in this world. Growing up she excelled in everything she layed her hands on, obtaining even a higher degree in the scientific field. She was married and thought that her life was complete although she felt there were missing pieces to the puzzle. It wasn't until the day before her 33rd birthday, everything she once knew as her life crumbled in front of her. Enclosed with a dash of humour and incorporated with deeper spiritual meanings, "I Am You...And You Are Me" covers Evelyn's journey towards spirituality, the discovery of the difficulty of the process and re-building her life to stand in her true authentic self with inner peace, joy, and compassion. Her story is one that opens the mind of humanity towards stepping out of the matrix and becoming the God within us, an enlightened being, encompassed by the greatest gift of all, LOVE.
Reviews
“Somehow, when a decision is made in favor of the Universe, everything aligns,” Nathan writes in this brief, focused parable about how one woman’s spiritual awakening during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020. Born filled with “positivity, independence, strength, laughter, charm and love,” Evelyn, the focus of the first-person narrator who tells the story, achieved early in her adult life what most might consider success: a good career and marriage to a man with whom she made something of a “golden couple.” But her work-life balance was off, the marriage dissolved, and Evelyn soon understood that it was time to focus on herself—that “Everyday we endure life as pre-programmed robots living by society’s definition of the ‘norm.’”

A robot no more, Evelyn launches herself into a self-taught transformation, declaring “Once you have fallen this low, the only way is up” and taking on CrossFit, meditation, spiritual seeking, the study of myriad beliefs and traditions, from tarot to numerology, and ultimately the trust in a Higher Self. “Magic happens when we relinquish the ego and accept that the world is nothing short of an illusion,” Nathan writes, and such magic soon suffuses Evelyn’s life, as wildlife, coincidences, and various “synchronicities” become so abundant around her that friends begin to notice–and to undertake their own spiritual journeys, too.

Nathan’s approach in this novella is to lead by example. The narrator tells readers about witnessing Evelyn’s transformation from the outside, updating us with telling details or striking insights. The effect is similar to a friend recounting a mutual acquaintance’s mindfulness and wellness journey—it’s easy to feel inspired by the prospect that you could do it, too, though there’s no clear, established set of steps to take. The result is a report of someone who has changed her life and discovered that we learn best from each other’s examples—and an invitation to learn from hers.

Takeaway: An account of a woman’s transformational journey—and an invitation to undertake one, too.

Great for fans of: Bev Janisch’s Awakening a Woman’s Soul, Sue Patton Thoele’s The Mindful Woman.
