From Anne Lamott, the New York Times-bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow, comes the book we need from her now: How to bring hope back into our lives
"I am stockpiling antibiotics for the Apocalypse, even as I await the blossoming of paperwhites on the windowsill in the kitchen," Anne Lamott admits at the beginning of Almost Everything. Despair and uncertainty surround us: in the news, in our families, and in ourselves. But even when life is at its bleakest--when we are, as she puts it, "doomed, stunned, exhausted, and over-caffeinated"--the seeds of rejuvenation are at hand. "All truth is paradox," Lamott writes, "and this turns out to be a reason for hope. If you arrive at a place in life that is miserable, it will change." That is the time when we must pledge not to give up but "to do what Wendell Berry wrote: 'Be joyful, though you have considered all the facts.'"
In this profound and funny book, Lamott calls for each of us to rediscover the nuggets of hope and wisdom that are buried within us that can make life sweeter than we ever imagined. Divided into short chapters that explore life's essential truths, Almost Everything pinpoints these moments of insight as it shines an encouraging light forward.
Why join Bookclub?
This Book Club is a women's circle of magnificent souls..many of the women have done every single book club, it has become part of their schedule, and part of the fabric of their lives..and some drop in and out depending on the book. know that all are welcome! These groups are always a community of insightful, supportive women eager to engage in meaningful conversation. We laugh and cry and share from our hearts..most of the women have said that they have never shared like this before..and now it's become a natural, necessary, joyous support and touchstone in their lives.
"These book club gatherings have shown me what truth looks and feels like in others and in myself. Women sharing and supporting each other’s unretouched pains, triumphs, worries, hilarities, fears, loves…it is magnificent and affirming. Most especially, it is real and it is safe. Honoring the truth in others helps me see and honor the truth in myself. What a blessing to experience the divine feminine so beautifully brought to life each week! This is one precious tribe." - Sandy
