Author : Shauna Niequist
Genre : Memoir
Shauna writes about the painful process of unlearning what is no longer helpful, embracing curiosity, and making peace with the unknown of midlife (which for her is in the forties.) Of course, transitions happen all the time. (I had my first BIG one at 31.) Life is more about questions than answers, more about forgiveness, more about becoming resilient, which means getting back up, and learning from our surprising and challenging experiences.
“Hello to heartbreak: I learned to breathe through it like labor pains, to stay with it and draw deep into my lungs, fearless and present to it, like a contraction. I learned to walk through it, footfall by footfall. To my surprise, instead of feeling overtaken, I felt cleansed, like the moment after a thunderstorm sweeps through and everything is suddenly impossibly quiet and clear.”
“Become enchanted by whatever is currently enchanting your child.”
“I put myself in the pathway of joy every chance I get, and extending myself in that direction delivers me to gratitude, to hope, to a cascade of things that tumble out after joy but don’t show up without a little effort on my part.”
