Instead of writing my morning pages first thing when I woke up, I re-read the pages that I loved in @__isagarcia & #39;s new book, The Light Years. I wrote a few things as well in my journal on how much her words resonate deep within my soul. (And I know I am not alone in this.)

Her words always make me feel so many things. In her vulnerability, she gives me courage. Her kindness inspires me to be more compassionate, to look beyond myself, to be more present, to pay more attention to the small things.

And above all, to embrace life, in all its glory and pain, and even in all its obscurity and mystery. Isa has such a gift in putting into words all the hidden thoughts & emotions that we may have had at some point. She makes us feel seen, that we truly are not alone in this life.

I& #39;m rambling, but really, there& #39;s no book that has ever made my heart so full and overflowing, that I want to cry, and smile, and laugh, and create, than Isa& #39;s.

She inspires me a lot. She& #39;s given me courage to write again. I& #39;m nowhere there yet, but I& #39;ve learned from her that whatever form my words may take, they will always carry weight, because they carry truth. My truth. I& #39;m forever grateful. Thank you, Isa! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Gelbes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gelbes Herz">
