I love watching her on interviews but will admit never read her books. This does sound good! What a lady she is. I kinda wish she would run for president.

I also enjoyed Michelle Obama’s first book “Becoming” and have been wondering about her second book. I’ll be putting this on my 2023 reading list now. Thank you, too, for gathering here some of your favourite quotes from Michelle’s book.

I’ve not read her work, and I love these quotes, especially that it is harder to hate up close, and that we must build our tables intentionally. Our family invites people to our table that, it seems to me, a number of white Americans avoid . . . We’re of European descent, so African Americans, Asians, our daughter’s Muslim friend from Saudi Arabia (he’s back home now), and elderly. Close proximity, getting to know people as people, human to human, you might say, Lisa, is a way of intentional table-and-relationship building, and a safeguard to prejudice. thanks for the recommendation. xo Lynn
PS Oh and love that glitter quote. I do think that risk, the edges of life, places we might be afraid to go, the risks, often shimmer with beauty and blessing. At least, I’ve found it to be so.

I like the idea that it’s hard to hate up close. Thanks for sharing this review, Lisa!
