Birds Still Dance was inspired by a red cardinal’s persistent visitations to the author during her initial stages of grief. Lenore Z. Hall, or better known as ‘Lori’, always knew that she wanted to write a book but never dreamed that it would be about the death of her husband, John. But death is only one small part of the story. For Lori writes, “Cancer was how John died but not how he lived.” Her gift of interweaving her personal journey with universal topics of loss, loneliness, faith and joy includes with wisdom of the Enneagram. She states that learning about this ancient and sacred tool early on in her marriage helped her to become a better wife to John.
