Begin Each Day as if It Were on Purpose
By
Mary Anne Radmacher
Founder and owner of the Word Garden, Mary Anne Radmacher makes
her art her life and her life an art.
And in
Lean Forward into Your Life she invites us to do the same.
Or as she says, Lean Forward into Your Life is a
commonplace book for leading an uncommon life. An uncommon life
need not include fame and fortune. An uncommon life means living
with intention, paying attention, celebrating, taking care of
yourself, risking love. To live an uncommon life is to live large
from the heart.
Each
section of Lean Forward into Your Life opens with a
hand-lettered aphorism in the author's signature collage style.
The essays, stories, and exercises that follow are designed to
bring the reader into her or his own uncommon life.
In the
tradition of The Invitation, by Oriah Mountain Dreamer and
I Will Not Die an Unlived Life by Dawna Markova, poems that
evolved into best-selling books, Lean Forward into Your Life
is an intimate book that leads readers into the center of their
own ability to change the world.
*An invitation to the millions of people who want to make the most
of their lives and leave the world a slightly better place.
