New year, new books🥳🎉
Another piece of perfection by Marden! The wisdom found in this book ages well, while also having some humorous details from the time. This book has opened my eyes to things I could not see on my own; my duty to my own self and existence. He is like a wise and loving friend or mentor for me. I admire him - his devastating but triumphant life; but also the gifts he gave to the world through his writing♡

Love this book♡ I'm practically highlighting the whole thing? ...and then writing it all down in my book of treasures. It's a full time job at this point?♀️

"Man is an infinite little copy of God," says Victor Hugo. "That is glory enough for man… little as I am, I feel the God in me." ...continued in comments*
