August Book of the Month: Loving My Actual Life
For those of us who spend way too much energy dwelling on the “would’ves,” “could’ves,” or “should’ves” of life, Loving My Actual Life is the book for us! After realizing the craziness of her daily routine, author Alexandra Kuykendall chose to recalibrate her days so she could better enjoy the one life she’s been given. In the preface, Kuykendall invites us—and even encourages us to invite a few of our friends—to journey alongside her in an experiment in relishing what’s right in front of us: reality.
“I find most people are working hard to live life ‘right.’ Whatever our right might be. And then real life gets in the way. Singleness or infertility or underemployment or whiny children may not be what we expected, or hoped for, but here we are. We all have our ideal and then we also all have our reality. They rarely match up. This is a book about savoring the reality.” (From the Preface)
From the Publisher
“In this entertaining and insightful book, Alexandra Kuykendall chronicles her nine-month experiment to rekindle her love of her ordinary, actual life. After wiping her calendar as clean as a mother of four can, Kuykendall focuses on one aspect of her life each month, searching for ways to more fully enjoy her current season. By intentionally adding one thing each month that will make her jump for joy, she provides a practical challenge you can easily replicate in your life. With humor, poignancy, and plenty of personal stories, she shows how a few small changes can make this crazy-busy life one of holy contentment.” (From the Publisher)
