Lean Forward Into Your Life by Maryanne Radmacher 11 hours ago

Somehow I lost interest in this book towards the very end, although I found many passages throughout the reading that caught my attention.

Some of the quotations as follows:

“One must not be defined, determined, or deterred by the views and opinions of others.”

“Right practice is not a rigid set of ethics that one applies, like poured concrete, to a path. And like the sun, at different seasons and in progressive times in the day, its light shines from a different place. Reardless of the angle of its shine, it is light. Standing in that light is my right practice.”

Know When to Leave:

“It is a peculiar wisdom that alerts us to that moment in time. That moment when we know it is time for us to leave. “

Poem:

when i want
to see
love defined,
i see you.

Many pearls of wisdom and thought within the pages of this book. I believe I found what I needed at the time.

‘Lean Into Your Life’ served its purpose.

Happy reading,

Elle Lyzette

10,466 words on the way to 50,000 1 day ago

10,466 words to date. Had a personal challenge present itself on Saturday and slowed me down, but I keep plugging away.

Instead of crying myself to sleep, I have been writing myself to sleep…not to say that my writing puts me to sleep.

Emotionally hungover tonight.

Tomorrow is a brand new day.
