I loved The Happiness Dare, too, Sarah. Sounds like we grew up with that same lie of deprivation and hand-to-the-plow mentality. Work, work, work. Not that we aren’t supposed to work. ha. But we’re also meant to enjoy the lives that God has given us. So grateful that Jennifer took the time to write the book.

Word by Word is a great title for us word types. 🙂 Let me know how the devotional is, Jean!

I actually finished We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves last night and it was so good! I enjoyed it more than The Language of Flowers. Hope you enjoy it too if you read it.

That sounds like a great book, Karen. Thanks for sharing it! I’ll have to look it up. I enjoy reading Lisa-Jo Baker’s posts so I’m sure I’d like her book, too.

The Language of Flowers is definitely a memorable book. I didn’t realize how many people have read it. It keeps lingering in my head. 🙂

Haha. Me neither, Beverley! Drawing is definitely not my gift.

Your words seem spot-on to me, Melissa. A grungy, gritty feel is an apt description. We visited a flower market in Seattle last week and it made me think of the book.

Can’t wait till we can get our hands on that memoir of yours, Floyd! I know it will be worth the wait.
