fields: I think sometimes people feel well if I do it enough it just comes easy it just becomes a part of me right and maybe for some people that's true but this is an intentional practice. He says like Muriel sparked the great British writer during the second world war memento moray and miss jean brodie she said when she sat down to write she just felt like she had a dictaphone machine on because she was so plugged into God and she just typed away every day. Fields: To live a good life means to me to have loving feelings very simple I just have to go do a few really loving things hmm thank you hey if you love this conversation you
My first exposure to Anne Lamott’s work was her iconic book, Bird By Bird, which as a writer, was transformative. Not just because it helped me better understand how and why to write, but also because her wonderfully wise and irreverent voice inspired me to be more real, more honest in both my work and my life. I’ve remained captivated by her writing ever since. The author of too many The New York Times bestsellers, including Almost Everything; Hallelujah Anyway; Small Victories; Stitches; Help, Thanks, Wow; and her most recent Dusk Night Dawn, Anne goes places other fear to tread with such humility, humor and craft, it’s like you’ve been invited into her mind, her life and her ability to draw belly laughs, deep wisdom and hits of awakening from those often tiny moments that touch down in our lives that so many of us miss. She reminds you, it may not be fun while it’s happening, but it’s all part of the beautiful souffle of life and every ingredient matters. So excited to share this best-of conversation with you now.
