Loveable
Loveable: Embracing What Is Truest About You, So You Can Truly Embrace Your Life | Kelly Flanagan
25 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Kelly Flanagan is a psychologist, father, and blogger who is best known for the letters he has written to his children on his blog, one of which landed him on the Today Show with his four-year-old daughter. In Loveable, Flanagan answers three fundamental human questions: Am I enough? How do I become unlonely? Do I matter? He shows us how to rediscover our worthiness and remember that we are good enough. He encourages us to shed the false self that keeps us lonely and to find people who accept us as we are. And he inspires us to fully embrace our passions, regardless of how ordinary those passions may be. Reading like an extended love letter to readers, Loveable uncovers three essential truths: you are enough, you are not alone, and you matter. Flanagan invites us to disconnect from the distractions and demands of daily life and to listen more intently for the voice of grace within each of us, so we might fully awaken to the redemptive story we are here to live.

Omg.....just got this now :) thank you! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks you are the best! I‘m little tardy when it comes to send letters, nevertheless I‘m off next week - plan to catch up with my #LitsyLove

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks You‘re welcome!! Sorry! I had to type some letters this month because I got so far behind 🤷🏼‍♀️ I usually don‘t do that, but I‘m finding that easier and to just add in at the bottom! ❤️❤️❤️ 4y

1. Depends on what is meant by “romance genre.” I would say generally I hate it, but I do love a good love story.
2. Stay in; I hate crowds. 😬
3. Chocolates
4. Probably Katniss & Peeta, but I also love Jane & Rochester and Louisa & Will

I‘m currently slowly moving in with my boyfriend and one essential part was finally having at least a little space for books! Yay! (Was also important because I‘m running out of space at my parent‘s place😂😂) I hope to sneek in a third row of books in this shelf, but I didn‘t want to overwhelm him with too many books at once (yes I know it‘s nothing for us but for a non-reader it is a lot😅 also his flat is not very big unfortunately)

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m going to have to build new shelves if someone moves in with me!!! 🤣🤣🤣 5y
ju.ca.no @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks well we had to buy this one too, but his place is too small for all my books anyways. Way too small😂 but the more shelf space the better and I hope that in the next year maybe we‘ll start looking for something bigger, where I can put them all🙏🏼 but it‘s a start😁 5y

Just wanted to send out an appreciation post to you all. Thanks for being here, for being an awesome community and for always being full of chat! I've found myself drifting from my irl friends as they lead very different lives to me, and it reached breaking point tonight. I've stepped away from it for tonight. I now have more in common with people on here! Keep on being an amazing, welcoming bunch of people! ✌

LeahBergen Hugs! ❤️ 7y

CarolynM This is a great community and I love being part of it and being able to chat with people about books I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone else about, but don't forget you need flesh and blood people too. Your current crowd may not be the right ones, but you never know when a true friend will come along. Hugs 💙💙 7y
laurieluna @CarolynM thanks! 😊 I still have a few irl friends and aquaintances, and my best friend. We've been friends since we were 11 so I'm pretty sure we're stuck with each other now! The other friends are friends who make their lives seem more important than mine by poo pooing my problems in conversations by trumping them with theirs. It reached a point were one of them got angry that we didn't talk about her problem straight away and I bit back. 😕😬 7y
batsy ❤️❤️ I've been in that situation where friends became less-friends because it was always about their lives. The "two-way street" became nonexistent and that's always sad. I'm glad for my handful of true friends and glad you have yours too. 7y
CarolynM Good to know🙂 7y
Louise Hooray for Litsy peeps! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 7y
TricksyTails I relate to this a lot! 🤗♥️ 7y

laurieluna @batsy they say you can count the amount of 'true' friends you'll ever have in life on one hand. Had I not been a part of litsy I would have been inclined to agree! 😄 7y

Oh my goodness @IheartYA this is amazing!!! Love everything here. I haven‘t even opened all the little bags yet!!! And I was literally looking at buying myself a book journal last night. Not even kidding!!!

IheartYA Yay! I was a little torn on the book journal (pun--book pages, torn--lmao) because I wanted one with more detail. I hope it's ok! 7y
Sara_Planz I adore it. It‘s similar to the one I was looking at ordering. Thank you so much !! 7y

My loves Druzy and Jezzy, neither by the way wanted to sit next to each other. In fact I cropped out my hand holding Druzy's paw so she wouldn't make a break for it and Jezzy refused to look at me.

Avanders @mabell lol I know, there was at least 1 whole year where I didn't read for pleasure at all in law school! @alicia yes, it's a small legal community!! What's her name?? Class action/poverty... I might know her name... I'm at the Court of Appeals now, but I try to keep my finger on the pulse 😜 @Megnogged yeah it's not as common as I would expect it to be.. but I have a whole book group comprised of .. at least occasional readers 😁 7y

My students gave me a gift card to my favorite bookstore as a going away gift. 1) The vast majority of students at the college I just left are super low income. This is an act of incredible generosity. 2) They paid attention. This is an act of incredible generosity. 3) If anyone has anything bad to say about millenials, I will take you down. They give me hope every fucking day.
