About this Event

Bestselling author Cleo Wade returns to Commonwealth Club World Affairs with a hug of a book—her latest, In a World of Sunrises, a collection of poetry, prose and inspirational quotes providing uplift and comfort for 365 days.
Wade's entries are a reminder that change is always possible, not only within each of us but also in the world around us. Her message is about feeling good, and feeling like wherever you are in your life is okay and wherever you want to go is possible. It’s about smiling through our tears; it’s about miracles and joy. Befriending one another and ourselves, lightening up, and giving ourselves (and everyone else) grace because life rains its challenges on all of us.

So put aside the doomscrolling and the vituperation of the mediasphere and come out to see Wade offer her brand of calm and encouragement. Life can be so complicated—inspiration at its best and most helpful feels simple and full of ease.
