7 posts | 8 read | 18 to read
Youre here, but you want to be there. So you spend your life narrowing this divide, and you call this your race, your journey, your path. You live your days tightening your boot straps, wiping the sweat from your brow, chasing undiscovered happiness just around the bend. Higher! Faster! Better! Stronger! And on and on you run. Viral sensation and HGTV.com star Erin Loechner knows about the chase. Before turning 30, she'd built a fan base of one million women worldwide and earned the title The Nicest Girl Online as she was praised for her authentic voice and effortless style. The New York Times applauded her, her friends and church admired her, and her husband and baby adored her. She had arrived at the ultimate destination. So why did she feel so lost? In Chasing Slow, Erin turns away from fast and fame and frenzy. Follow along as she blazes the trail toward a new-fashioned lifestyleone that will refresh your perspective, renew your priorities and shift your focus to the journey that matters most. Through a series of steep climbsher husband's brain tumor, bankruptcy, family loss, and public criticismErin learns just how much strength it takes to surrender it all, and to veer right into grace. Life's answers are not always hidden where they seem. It's time to venture off the beaten path to see that weve already been given everything we need. We've already arrived. You see? You'll see.

I read one chapter a day in this and loved it. It was like little nuggets of wisdom each morning. 😊 Sometimes I fear these books can get preachy but I don't think she did. It's just a glimpse into her life and journey and I appreciate that.

This book is hitting home so very hard. Especially if you are a long time blogger or social media influencer, I think this book will speak to your heart. #chasingslow #whatimreadingnow

Fantastic book. I'm already an embracer of slow living and slow dressing, so this book was a wonderful reminder that the best of life is the simple and getting to where we want to be -- goal-wise-- is attainable best by slowing to get to it first.

#TBRtemptation post! Here's another memoir getting a lot of buzz now. Just hit bookstores last week. HGTV online star, Erin Loechner, achieved her dreams before 30--loving husband and baby; great career as an art director and stylist; gained a million followers via blogging; the NYT titled her "The Nicest Girl Online". Then came medical issues, bankruptcy, public criticism, etc., & she's blazed a new trail. Wow! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
