quote
“Work on your strengths, not your weaknesses. How many of your New Year’s resolutions have been about fixing a flaw? And how many of those resolutions have you made several years in a row? It’s difficult to change any aspect of your personality by sheer force of will, and if it is a weakness you choose to work on, you probably won’t enjoy the process. If you don’t find pleasure or reinforcement along the way, then—unless you have the willpower of Ben Franklin—you’ll soon give up. But you don’t really have to be good at everything. Life offers so many chances to use one tool instead of another, and often you can use a strength to get around a weakness.”

How to Walk Away: Chapter Sampler:
"I am all in with this book. I see people logging it as "chick lit" and "romance" and those are not my go-to genres, but this book just made me smile as I finished the last words of the chapter. It was easy to get lost in quickly, and Margaret was ver"

"I loved this book so much! The style of writing makes it an easy-read, and I really felt like I knew the characters. I especially love how the ending is not a perfect Hollywood-style ending where it’s “all” okay (trying to avoid spoilers). I’m excite"

“That’s how life is. Things happen. Lives get broken. Some people never can put themselves back together. I wondered if she would. I wondered if I would. . . . But what was that old saying my dad loved so much? The best revenge is forgetting. I clearly hadn’t forgotten a thing. Despite all my efforts.”

“Choosing to love—despite all the ways that people let you down, and disappear, and break your heart. Knowing everything we know about how hard life is and choosing to love, anyway.. That’s not weakness, that’s courage.”

“Nobody was perfect. Not even close. And everybody had wrinkles from smiling and squinting and craining their necks. Everybody has marks on their bodies from years of living- a trail of life left on them. Evidence of all the adventures and sleepless nights and practical jokes and heartbreaks that had made them who they are.”
