Every once in a while, a book falls into my hands that takes my breath away. Life is a Verb, 37 days to wake up, be mindful, and live intentionally by Patti Digh is such a book. First of all, it's gorgeous—full of art and color and words floating across the pages, amazing quotations, and beautifully rendered stories.
The first words in the Prologue are these: "At some point in your life you'll only have thirty-seven days to live. Maybe that day is today. Maybe not."
Remember that line in Jerry Maquire—"You had me at hello"? Well, this book had me right there and never let go. I suddenly realized I was reading a library book, which meant I have to give it back. No way! I couldn't get to amazon fast enough to order it.
This is not a book review. I don't think I could begin to capture the essence of Life is a Verb except to say it is profound, not a word I use often. I wish I had written it. What greater compliment can I bestow?.
