In chapter one of Almost Isn’t Good Enough, there is a section on”being there.”

To some that means putting your phone down and listing to the people around you. But it’s more than that. It’s being OK to be in the moments of life that are bad and good. It means not running away and hiding in our own way in order to not look life square in the face.

Last night at our book discussion group this section struck a chord with many of us.  Life is beautiful. But life can be ugly, disappointing and messy. We have to have the courage to take it as it comes.
