"What kills a soul? Exhaustion, secret keeping, image management. And what brings a soul back from the dead? Honesty, connection, grace. " - Shauna Niequist

But by doing that, we actually miss out on sweet moments that would bring happiness into our life. Shauna Niequist's new book is about making an effort to differentiate what life is all about and to not miss out on it because we are distracted with other stuff.
