Yeah, if you don't watch those shows, then you probably don't know who Shonda Rhimes is - from my post, you can tell that I love those shows :) Definitely check out the book.

I've never seen any of those shows, so I still really don't know what she does but I have an idea. I'm intrigued by the premise of the book.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-42836285914368387682016-01-07T16:01:14.706-05:002016-01-07T16:01:14.706-05:00Lark, definitely read it and let me know what you ...Lark, definitely read it and let me know what you think!

I love the idea of being more open to things in life; it's something I need to work on...after all, it's the things we say yes to that determine our destination in life, the noes just lead nowhere. I've put this book on reserve at the library and am anxiously waiting for it to be my turn. :) Thanks so much for reviewing this book!Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-41915446308389262142016-01-07T15:31:03.299-05:002016-01-07T15:31:03.299-05:00Andi, you are spot on!

I remember your post on Knight's book and loved it! Definitely makes you think about prioritizing your life so that you don't stress over all the little f*cks that don't really matter to you (but that you can't help but obsess over.) Definitely check out Shonda's book - you will LOVE it!!

That might seem odd, but it's really about coming to terms with priorities, and if your priorities are to be more adventurous and give a f*ck about that, then YES! Sorry, that might've been a weird comment. You got a stream of consciousness version of what's in my head. lolAndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.com
