Continuing my new ongoing series with a snapshot of what crafting, quilting, cooking, gardening, decorating, self-improvement, etc. books I currently have on loan from my local library.
Here is the stack (soon to be returned though, I have finished with them and it’s time to get a new stack!):
I took this photo a week ago and there is one book that was in the stack, but not in the photo, that I have just finished and I highly enjoyed: Brave Enough by Cheryl Strayed (2015).
Cheryl Strayed is the author of the book Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail (2013), a wonderful book and a wonderful film (even Terry the Quilting Husband enjoyed the film and he dislikes films about “finding yourself”.)
Her latest book Brave Enough is a collection of quotes from her other writings.A couple quotes really stayed with me after reading them and I wanted to share:
“You can’t ride to the fair unless you get on the pony”
“Hello, fear. Thank you for being here. You’re my indication that I’m doing that I need to do.”
“Forgiveness doesn’t just sit there like a pretty boy in a bar. Forgiveness is the old fat guy you have to haul up the hill.”

So is Cheryl Strayed the author AND the subject of “Wild”? Is it autobiographical or biographical? I just haven’t read or seen the story and am not sure. Good quotes either way! Love the one about forgiveness

It is autobiographical written by Cheryl Strayed (her name is a pseudonym as she will explain in the book) about her life changing adventure hiking the PCT (after some rough living and life changes) – I think it is definitely worth the read. The film is an abbreviated version but they did a nice job capturing the essence of the book in the film. I will never forgot that forgiveness quote, I love it too! Thanks for reading my blog and commenting!
