Hello Beautiful People,
I think tiny beautiful things should be required reading for all people who are living.
All. People.
I don’t care who you are. I don’t care about your race. Your gender. Your religion. Your economic status. I don’t care what your education level is.
You must read this book.
Did you get that yet?
Read. This. Book.
Here’s the book blurb:
Life can be hard: your father cheats on you; you lose a family member; you can’t pay the bills. And it can be great; you’ve had the hottest sex of your life; you get that plum job; you muster the courage to write your novel. Sugar – the once-anonymous online columnist at The Rumpus, now revealed as Cheryl Strayed, author of the bestselling memoir Wild – is the person thousands turn to for advice. Tiny Beautiful Things brings the best of Dear Sugar together in one place and includes never-before-published columns and a new introduction by Steve Almond. Rich with humor, insight, compassion – and absolute honesty – this book is a balm for everything life throws our way.
Here’s what you should know:
Read this with a box of tissues. Read this with a couple of hours in front of you. Read this, then put it on your bookshelf or your night table and just let it live there, and then refer back to it when the world gets murky and you feel like you’ve been treading water so long that your legs are going to fall off. Because, I promise you, there will be a story there for you. A story that gives you strength. Hope. Clarity. Focus. Determination. Pleasure. Comfort.
There’s something for everyone.
I’m a firm believer that life is not black and white. No, it’s about a million shades of grey. And I think that just as life is made up of a tiny million beautiful things, there’s a million awful things to go along with those moments of beauty. For life’s imperfectly perfect. And it’s the moments of pleasure and happiness that allow us to endure the moments of sadness and heartache and utter darkness.
And I think that Cheryl Strayed does an absolutely brilliant job in capturing the complexities of life in tiny beautiful things.
Brilliant.
I’d tell you about my favorite stories, but honestly? I can’t just pick one. This book is a collection of tiny beautiful moments that just made my heart happy.
Cheesy, but true.
Go get yourself a copy now. I promise you, you will not be sorry.
Live, Love, Learn,
