There are moments when I am writing when I think that if other people knew how I felt right now, theyโd burn me at the stake for feeling so good, so full, so much intense pleasure.
Anne LamottWhen you pray, you are not starting the conversation from scratch, just remembering to plug back into a conversation that's always in progress.

Anne LamottOh, my God. What if you wake up some day, and you're 65 or 75, and you never got your novel or memoir written; or you didn't go swimming in warm pools or oceans because your thighs were jiggly or you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It's going to break your heart. Don't let this happen.
