Here
For any and all of us who find ourselves wanting to cut and run when life gets hard, when things don't go our way, or we are in a space of discomfort, Here by Lydia Sohn is for us. I related so much to the author's experiences and her questions about being in the right place and doing the right things. Her simultaneous desire for a feeling of home and a sense of adventure is one that I think has a distinct audience. I highlighted so many passages and feel that this book came at the right time in my life, a time of unsettledness. I especially appreciated the metaphor of "trying things on for size" and that staying is not so restrictive that we stay miserable or in unhealthy situations. It is more so a call to question one's wanderlust and see if building gratitude and contentment could make all the difference. Each chapter included helpful reflection questions that I know I will be coming back to and the author's favorite versions of lectio divina and the examen have already come in handy. Overall, I'm a fan of this book and its contents.
