Your problem is…

anne lamott quote

I have to be honest.  I don’t feel much like writing tonight.  I’ve worked a lot this week already and slept less than I’d care to admit.  But ironically enough my tired brain thought perhaps an Ann Lamott quote would be good, maybe one about writing.  So I started looking through my copy of Bird by Bird (love), but then found this perfect-quote-of-the-moment online instead.  I hope your day has been fruitful.  Mine was busy, good and long.  Enjoy this quote from one of my favorite authors:

“Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued. Whether you’re going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.”  ― Anne Lamott

Hi, I’m Andrea.

I know what it’s like to have a dream burning inside. I also know what it’s like to leave an abusive spouse, raise two kids on my own, and depend on food stamps, wondering if I’d make enough with my two jobs to pay rent each month. I’ve scratched, clawed, cried, and kept doing the work to get to where I am today. And I’m determined to help women pursue their dreams whether that’s becoming a successful author, or designing a career that fits your life.

I write about author branding and the nitty-gritty of what it really looks like to live out our dreams. Let’s do this! Wanna see where it started for me? Check out my first post from 2013.
