Morphing In Stillness

A story of love, loss & the beauty of transformation

After immigrating from Colombia to the United States as a young child followed by a devastating loss and financial hardship, Luz Arteaga-Pray overcame these struggles and ultimately achieved the American dream. She was blessed with a jaw-droppingly handsome, hardworking husband, four beautiful children, a gorgeous countryside home on the family’s farmland and a thriving business. What more could a girl ask for? In her memoir, Morphing in Stillness, Arteaga-Pray reflects on her abundant life and evolution of self-discovery that led her to surrender it all.

Through raw emotion, honesty and anecdotal humor, Arteaga-Pray takes an intimate look at her 30-year relationship with her husband and her loss of self within the union. Her vulnerable story reveals the courageous yet difficult choices she made in order to live her most authentic life. By taking the road less traveled, she embarks on a journey that ultimately leads to her intended destination – a life filled with love, joy and purpose.

Client Love

I reached out to Ms. Arteaga-Pray in the hope that she would be able to lend some insight into how to approach, manage, or overcome mental illness. I had no idea whatsoever how much depth, thoughtfulness, and wisdom she would bring to the talk that she gave. In very little time, she connected with an adolescent class learning about clinical psychology for the first time, and she spoke with a tremendous amount of honesty and power - and spoke about perspective as well as resilience.

I highly recommend Luz Arteaga-Pray! She was a guest speaker at my high school's Spanish National Honor Society induction. She spoke articulately and passionately about how it's important for everyone to take time out for themselves and find their own healthy balance. Her message that 'failure is a prerequisite; it's an opportunity for growth and wisdom' particularly resonated with me and the students. She is a strong motivational speaker who connects well with people of all ages and backgrounds.

In the course of both reflecting and story-telling, Ms. Arteaga-Pray enriched our program. She spoke with clarity, positivity, and transparency. But she did so much more here: She enlightened all in attendance (this teacher included!) about the criticality of family, friendship, growth, language, mindset, self-care, and wellness. She lectured with warmth, and she impressed everyone, making clear that all of us need to commit more effort to appreciating life and cultivating joy.
