"Life is meant to be lived, not managed, not controlled, not screamed, not stressed, not hurried, not guilt-ridden, not regretted, not scripted, not consumed by distractions, big or small, obvious or subtle." -- Rachel Macy Stafford; Hands Free Life: 9 Habits for Overcoming Distraction, Living Better, and Loving More I found Rachel Macy Stafford through some of my favorite Facebook blogger-authors.
Sometimes Facebook actually makes smart suggestions! I've starting following her page there, "The Hands Free Revolution", and I would suggest it to you! This tenth book (TEN! WOO!) in the #yearof50books is Hands Free Life: 9 Habits for Overcoming Distraction, Living Better, and Loving More by Rachel Macy Stafford. Although this book is designed more with mothers in mind, I certainly learned from the excellent stories and reminders. Her main point is that we enjoy the life we have now and the little moments we experience with those we love. I'm noticing an interesting trend in bloggers and authors I find myself gravitating toward--they're usually gals who used to be teachers! Jen Hatmaker. Annie Downs. and now Rachel Macy Stafford! I think it's because we're all kindred spirits..they understand the teacher life and struggles, so even through their words that aren't teacher-related, I feel seen and understood. It's wonderful! I've already started book eleven, my next fiction read. Another YA book..I'm on a YA roll! Wonderfully Yours, Kristin
