Chanel Earl said: " This book has everything: humor, sincerity, sweetness, madness, truth, satire, I could go on.

The stories are fun and funny, but they also inspire me to take a closer look at myself and my own crazy logic. I enjoyed reading this immensely. "

Chanel’s Quotes

“There are two occasions when the sacred beauty of Creation becomes dazzlingly apparent, and they occur together. One is when we feel our mortal insufficiency to the world, and the other is when we feel the world's mortal insufficiency to us.”
― Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

“It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from.”
