Love Warrior: A Memoir

Product Information

What I want to be, girls, is beautiful. Beautiful means ‘full of beauty.’ Beautiful is not about how you look on the outside. Beautiful is about what you’re made of. Beautiful people spend time discovering what their idea of beauty on this earth is. They know themselves well enough to know what they love, and they love themselves enough to fill up with a little of their particular kind of beauty each day.” Although I have nothing in common with Melton and do not share her spirituality, the memoir still gave me pause, urging me to undertake my own journey of growth and self-discovery. Melton's writing is so raw and vibrant that I was touched by her frankness and could relate to her, even though we're at very different places in our lives. Despite having experienced very few of Melton's challenges, I was unexpectedly moved by her victories... continued My courage will come from knowing I can handle whatever I encounter there -- because I was designed by my creator to not only survive pain and love but also to become whole inside it. I was born to do this. I am a Warrior.” Just like she found a new way of being herself: one where the vulnerability was no longer scary, but empowering instead, you can too! Lesson 2: Life will keep serving you hard lessons until you finally listen to your inner voice. People who are hurting don't need Avoiders, Protectors, or Fixers. What we need are patient, loving witness. People to sit quietly and hold space for us. People to stand in helpful vigil to our pain.”

Love Warrior – Glennon Doyle

Maran, Meredith (March 24, 2021). "Glennon Doyle doesn't work alone: The 'Untamed' author and agent Margaret Riley King discuss their creative process". The Washington Post. This chronicle of a beautiful, brutal journey speaks to anyone who yearns for deeper, truer relationships and a more abundant, authentic life. How a marital crisis became a catalyst for a painful but ultimately enlightening journey into the depths of the human heart. If the authors are serious, this is a silly, distasteful book. If they are not, it’s a brilliant satire.I liked this book because it gets at some fundamental problems facing girls in our society: the pressure to be pretty, thin, and easygoing, plus the fear of being thought too domineering, too smart or too needy. It's a staggering set of demands, and it's no wonder so many girls get lost in the muddle.

Your emptiness goes with you. Maddening. Things that help: writing, reading, water, walks, forgiving myself every other minute, practicing easy yoga, taking deep breaths, and petting my dogs. These things don't fill me completely, but they remind me that it is not my job to fill myself. It's just my job to notice my emptiness and find graceful ways to live as a broken, unfilled human... Anyway, rant (writing) over. On the one hand - I can't say I recommend this book, on the other, I would love for you to read it so we can talk about it.

We know we must decide whether to stay small, quiet, and uncomplicated or allow ourselves to grow as big, loud, and complex as we were made to be. Every girl must decide whether to be true to herself or true to the world. Every girl must decide whether to settle for adoration or fight for love.”
