5 STARS
I really enjoyed Rachel's writing style. It almost felt like sitting down with a friend in person with her. It had a great introduction as well.
She wasn't afraid to share her personal ups and downs without leaving you feel heaviness with the down's. I got the feel of it being real. She's a survivor of many different things and that came across really well. She was also not afraid to laugh at herself and her humor came across too. Of extra value was some of the stories that she shared that came from other people.
Rachel's comment about wanting to be a Joy Starter made me smile. And I liked that at the end of the chapters there was a Joy Start with practical ways to be interactive with the insightful questions and ideas.
Her thoughts on having No Regrets was excellent. She mentioned that the body keeps score so holding strong feelings in, does damage the body sooner or later.
Writing a Joy List was a great idea. I also say that with a smile and a wink. Because a short le ago before reading this book, I had started doing that very thing. I know this book is something that I'm going to re-read from time to time and gain even more from it.
There was one phrase that brought me so much joy. "When we lean into our God-given joy, it makes the devil bellow in the halls of hell". Let him bellow away because that's a "picture" that I can get into.
On a side note- The author recommended a book that surprised me but I just might follow up with it."The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, M.D."
“I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”
