Blog: Reflections on Self Care
Book: Mile 9
"It wasn't just the extra 80 pounds, it was how bad I felt about myself and my doubts concerning whether or not it was possible for me to change what I was doing. Just for today I am a normal body size, but I am not my weight. What's important is who I am on the inside. At MILE 9, I discovered the power of faith."

"Dear Readers: This is a little book with a powerful message of hope, courage, and daring. Ms. Brownn inspires us, as just when her spirits were the lowest, she found the courage to leave behind her limited belief of what she could and could not do. She dared to come out of hiding and shine her Light. Her story is one of hope and encouragement for all of us who find ourselves at a crossroads, ready to change. Eleanor Brownn has shared her own story, simply and elegantly told, a wonderful gift for everyone we cherish."
Cathy Lind Hayes Actress and Playwright “I heard someone once say ‘The longest journey begins with a single step--but it has to be in the right direction!’ I did a marathon once and it took me over 10 hours to walk it in the heat, so I really connected with the sense of determination in MILE 9. The book was funny, touching and so inspirational.”
Trisha Roth, MD Pediatrician "Simply wonderful. A beautiful, quick read. This is a universal story that really resonates, because everyone can identify with one step at a time. I want to share this with my book club."

Blog: My Spiritual Sabbatical
What I'm learning about life after losing (what I thought was) everything.
"My Spiritual Sabbatical is a collection of personal essays about my outer and inner journey as a 60 year-old single woman seeking to live life to the fullest after a series of what appeared to be losses. It's about the places I visit, the people I meet and the lessons I continue to learn — lessons I hope will offer encouragement to anyone who is at a crossroads in life and wondering which way to go." • Eleanor Brownn
