I love this book. She blends in writing about her own life and journey that is juicy to read and helpful. This book is about 'living the questions' - not finding the answers. It involves writing and journal prompts as the main tool, but it's a lot more than that.
When I first picked it up, I was really disconnected from myself. The book just had me journalling a bit on the question “What do I really need right now?”. And it’s not like the answers were huge. I hadn’t been ignoring some major suppressed calling. I just had been ignoring myself. Tuned out. Tuned to a different station. The “outside myself” station.
And it’s not about excavating or analyzing. What I like about this book is that the content of the answer doesn’t matter as much as the spirit in which you listen. It’s not about getting the answer, setting some goals, and making a plan to solve all your problems. It’s about asking the question, living the question, listening each day for new answers --staying in touch with the deepest part of ourselves, which is a mystery to explore, not a puzzle to solve.

I absolutely adored this book. It was just what I needed to read. Even though it was written quite a few years ago, it is very timeless and Jennifer's words reached straight off the page and into my heart like they were written today, for me specifically. I did find the CQ "character" element a little gimmicky and would have been fine without that element of the book, but seriously...it is an incredible book, full of questions for authentically, actively, mindfully creating your life. Loved, loved, loved it!
