I'm only four chapters in so far, but I have also started receiving her new posts at her blog A Holy Experience ~ http://www.aholyexperience.com/ . I don't feel ready to give a book report of sorts but I know enough to say this woman is not only one of the most talented writers I have ever read, but God has used her life changing thoughts to stir my soul.
The best way I can describe it is this:
I feel as though some gentle hand has come up behind me and nudged me in a tiny different direction. I'm still living the same life on the same road but it doesn't feel so hard and oppressive. In her words, the book is a "dare to live fully right where you are"...and so that is where I am. One way the author began finding ways to be more thankful and directing that thanks to the rightful spot - the Creator of all things...was to begin a grateful list. There's so much more but you'll have to check it out yourself.
Because this is November and some bloggers choose to blog daily in November (and I'm behind) I thought I would fight the urge to blog in my old fashioned way. You know the mom's blogging to-do list...pumpkin patch pics, kids in costumes, milestones, funny things they say, holiday gift ideas, etc etc. It feels undone whenever I leave these things out. But instead I'm going to begin documenting some of my daily thankful things here.

Read it and LOVED it! God definitely worked on me through that book. This morning (even though I read that book months ago) I actually started my own blessings list! So weird and cool to read your post today!
