May Book of the Month–Joan Anderson’s “The Second Journey” is like a day at the beach!
Joan Anderson is a best selling author and I can see why. Her book, “The Second Journey (the road back to yourself)” was such a pleasant escape…and a learning experience at the same time. Joan is specifically addressing women and their “journeys” through life–even if they are as she calls them “accidental journeys” or “counterfeit journeys”. She asks us to be honest with ourselves and helps us to do just that with her own stories and struggles. It’s liking getting really cool insight from a wise friend. She talks so much too about the flurry of busyness we find ourselves in and how to stop and smell the roses in the midst of it. It couldn’t come at a better time for me as I get ready for my wedding while handling the usual day to day work and mom stuff. People say I’m handling it well, but yesterday somewhere between the dress fitting and my son’s baseball game, I realized there was a ticking time bomb inside. Good thing I had Joan’s book to curl up with at the end of the day. It seems everything is going to be just fine. In fact, as the saying goes: “I am too blessed to be stressed”! So, in conclusion…do read Joan’s book–it may not be a day at the beach…but sometimes it feels like one!
