Feature Friday: Own Your Everyday by Jordan Lee Dooley

Two of my friends really like Jordan Lee Dooley and follow her social media. Every so often, they'd send me a quote or something but I never really followed her. Then I heard she wrote a book. A book is a small commitment and I love reading so I was intrigued. Plus, then I could discuss it with my friend :)

Oh. My. Goodness.

This book is AMAZING!!!! I was sticky-noting the heck out of it because she just kept saying things that hit me so deeply.

Jordan's book is conversational. It's not a memoir or self-help book, but more of some good tips and things that she has learned or is learning. She is just honest and offers things that have helped her and might help you.

There was a good bit about finding purpose in the here and now and not wasting what you have longing for the future. I've done my share of that. My friends and I always played that we were older than we were. It was five simple words, but I think they're going to be up on several walls in my home one day:

this is the good stuff

Whatever season you are in, whatever is coming that you might be excited about and longing for, that's not the good stuff. It might be good too, but it's not like you have to wait for the good stuff. It's here. Now. Right where you are and right in front of you.

I'm not just putting that up in my home one day. It's going to be on a sticker on my laptop and on the cork board by my bed and on the wall by my door. Anywhere I can see it often and remember. When I'm longing for the next step or the next season, when I'm tired of waiting, I can look and see "this is the good stuff".

This book is pretty brand new, so I imagine not many have read it, but if you have, what did you think? I could share so many more quotes (and I'm planning to on Instagram), but what is your favorite? If you haven't read it, do you think you might now?
