A friend of this page made this image, from a quote of mine and I love it!

I am so goddamn stubborn about living a happy life — about pushing toward the light, climbing up that hill toward wonder. I don't know if people realize sometimes what a full-time job it is. Waiting for happiness to fall on your head out of the sky isn't going to get you there. Stubborn gladness doesn't come out of nowhere; you fight for it. You push back against despair. I look hard for miracle and beauty and joy every day. I could look just as hard for misery and sorrow every day (and would not have any trouble finding it) but I aim myself in the other direction, with real focus and determination. It's a big job, staying afloat on contentment, but it's such a worthy job.

Anyhow, what else are you going to do with your life? Because the alternatives to fighting for happiness are all pretty lousy, right? (AS EVIDENCED EVERYWHERE.)

Fight for the light, dear ones. Fight like the devil.

ONWARD,
LG

Who goes to a NUDE BEACH and only sends photos of a book jacket?! This made me smile…and I love the idea of Michelle's adventure for herself. Lovely.

After 6 years of FULL on mothering I took a break and had 10 delicious days to read a book, relaxedly, for the first time in a long time. This is the book I chose and this is a beautiful nudist beach in Mallorca where I also first read about Alma's quim…interesting timing!

Can we all send love and light today to Stephanie, for her incredible journey out of brain surgery and back into herself? This is so beautiful. Blessings to you, Stephanie, and thank you for taking Alma with you as you recovered! 🙂

Finally I finished.
3 long months ago I sat in a pre-op room waiting for surgery to remove a brain tumor. Nine days prior, I had surgery to remove half a tumor ridden thyroid. As I waited, I tried to read to calm my nerves. Five pages, then I was wheeled away. A week later I tried, but could not read. Two weeks, then three. Little by little I read…sometimes requiring the page to be read 3 times to retain it. Here I sit three months later with 500 beautiful, challenging pages behind me. Alma & I took quite a journey. She will forever be with me.
Thank you dear Elizabeth Gilbert.
