Of All the Lives I’ve Lived, This Is My Favorite

It's exhausting working to be the ideal version of yourself, but not realizing that person already exists inside you.

For the early part of Lotus' life, she worked hard to be the obedient, acquiescing daughter, the giving sister, the ambitious yet conforming public servant, the devout Bible thumping Christian. But as Lotus pursued the perfect version of these identities, she got further away from the person who made her the most proud, seen, and whole - herself.

In Of All the Lives I've Lived, This is My Favorite: An Inspirational Memoir, Lotus accounts stories of making life defining decisions to reclaim the parts of her life she compromised and left behind to receive the approval of those around her.

Of all the lives I've lived inspires reflection and fruitful dialogue, and allows readers to wrestle with:

How do I show up for myself and be in community? How do I come into my own understanding and relationship with who the world says I'm supposed to be versus who I want to be? Do I trust myself to make the best choice and stand by it no matter what?

Even on your most trying day, you're already living your favorite life.
