"Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach Share Their California Home". Architectural Digest. So - at times I hated this audiobook- hated myself that I didn’t hate it - was pissed that Glennon needed to write it - but of course she did - and worse - that woman all over the world needed to hear it! And don’t men? The other level is the Spiritual side, not that it is a religious book, however she does talk about the Love and Grace of God and being accepted by Him. I needed to hear that, because I myself have suffed from depression and as I said have a lot of GUILT. So I needed words of encouragement for myself.

Another subject that I could relate with was how much I hate religion but love spirituality. I can be closer to God up on a mountain hiking trail, watching the waves come in from the Pacific Ocean or counting shooting stars while camping in the North Cascades. I have never felt God when I went to church as a kid. Adele Adele? Yes, Adele the woman who made her millions by singing gut-wrenchingly autobiographical power ballads about the turmoil of her emotional life. How a marital crisis became a catalyst for a painful but ultimately enlightening journey into the depths of the human heart.This book was just what I needed to hear and read right now. The last hour of the book I was crying. Where to start with the powerful map to deeply loving yourself. My fury is for every woman who's been told by the church that God values her marriage more than her soul, her safety, her freedom. My fury is for every woman who has been taught that God is man and man is God. My fury is for every woman who has been told that her bad marriage is the cross upon which she should hang herself." Just like she found a new way of being herself: one where the vulnerability was no longer scary, but empowering instead, you can too! Lesson 2: Life will keep serving you hard lessons until you finally listen to your inner voice.

Hello all. I finished this book about a week ago and am seriously struggling with how I feel about it, and how to write my thoughts about it... It is a Memoir of Glennon's life. Bottom line: Readability - pretty good, maybe 4 stars, reality and helpful? 1 star. Therefore 2 stars. Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach Want You to Know We Can Still Do Hard Things". Vanity Fair. May 11, 2022 . Retrieved August 1, 2022. Though I have little in common with the author other than being a wife, mother, writer, and sometimes chronic overachiever, there is so much to love here. My favorite parts were the simple note her father left in a time of extreme crisis ("Everything will be okay") and her accidental stumbling into a hot yoga class. She (literally) sat on the mat? And just endeavored to "get through" whilst not executing a single pose? All with the teacher's knowing, yet unfamiliar glance? Perfection.Provocative....I adore her honesty, her vulnerability, and her no-nonsense wisdom, and I know you will, too." I liked this book because it gets at some fundamental problems facing girls in our society: the pressure to be pretty, thin, and easygoing, plus the fear of being thought too domineering, too smart or too needy. It's a staggering set of demands, and it's no wonder so many girls get lost in the muddle. Get involved with Together Rising, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that emerged from the Momastery community.

She says so many things that went right to my heart and are what I need to hear. How she learned about love with oneself and with a partner was also an act of bravery. I am so grateful for all Glennon shared here and how much it taught me. I am guilty of having expectations about life and I think she is saying, you can only depend on the next clue or the next thing the small inside voice says. That is the easiest thing to forget. I still have so many lessons to learn and I hope one day I too can be a love warrior and I will be able to have a beloved in my life.

Reader Reviews

The ending of Love Warrior is deliberately ambiguous. Why do you think that is? Were you tempted to root for a "happily ever after"? In what ways does our society equate staying married with success? In what ways can separation or divorce be considered successes? The chapter where she goes to hot Yoga and sits there with herself for 90 minutes and feels for the first time and doesn't hide - wow, that was an amazing chapter to read. Being a love warrior sounds easy, but that really is so difficult in a world of distraction and hiding from it all. He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions. I admit I didn't know who Glennon Doyle Melton was when I decided to read this book. A friend had said she liked her blog (called Momastery) and was excited about her new book, so I grabbed a copy for a buddy read.
