so-soThis book is helpful and insightful; an easy read. I was left feeling a lack of depth for lasting wisdom, but even so, I gained a renewed sense of self. Lee has some snippets of lovely writing. I think I would like her poetry. :)
My new stack of books! Looking forward to Jennifer Dukes Lee'a latest -- The Happiness Dare. Her first book, Love Idol, is one I have returned to time and again. I feel pretty sure #thehappinessdare will be the same.
"Today, I am taking the dare. I have made my choice. I refuse to join the chorus of negativity. I resist the pull toward bitterness. I will not sleepwalk through my own life. I was made for more."
"'Thank you, Lord.' Gratitude was more than a nice gesture acknowledging the sweet gift of an early snow. It was the stubborn refusal to be held hostage by fear and despair."
When I choose happiness I am not denying the pain of this world. I am refusing to give in to it.
Today in the happiness dare: Flamingos!!! Anna Marie and I have been really into flamingos lately, they just make us happy. Today we found this awesome glass flamingo to match the flamingo sheets we picked a few days ago. Find happy in everyday, boycott cynicism!
"Jesus gladdened a wedding. Jesus was the life of the party, and if you belong to Jesus, the life of the party lives in you." I have to say, I love Lee's picture of Jesus. I think we tend to forget that Jesus was a fun and vibrant man. We get the cross imagine stuck in our heads and miss the rest.
I'm so excited to be a part of the launch team for The Happiness Dare by Jennifer Dukes Lee! In the first chapter she has quoted CS Lewis and Charles Shultz, my all time favorites-pretty great start. #TheHappinessDare
