Lean Forward into Your Life
Begin Each Day As If It Were on Purpose
Mary Anne Radmacher

Founder and owner of the Word Garden, Mary Anne Radmacher makes her art her life and her life an art. And in Lean Forward into Your Life (Conari Press, May 2007) she invites us to do the same. Or as she says, Lean Forward into Your Life is a commonplace book for leading an uncommon life. An uncommon life need not include fame and fortune. An uncommon life means living with intention, paying attention, celebrating, taking care of yourself, risking love. To live an uncommon life is to live large from the heart.

Each section of Lean Forward into Your Life opens with a hand-lettered aphorism in the author's signature collage style. The essays, stories, and exercises that follow are designed to bring the reader into her or his own uncommon life.

"You know that feeling of being completely energized, which occurs when you are doing something you absolutely love? That thing that might make others tired, weary, but you could do for hours, and then get up the next day and do it all over again? That thing probably has a lot to teach you about your purpose. When people speak of being 'in sync,' when things are flowing or a part of a groove. What they could say, instead, is 'I am acting in complete accordance to my purpose and it makes everything sing.'"
-- Mary Anne Radmacher from Lean Forward into Your Life

Lean Forward into Your Life is an intimate book that leads readers into the center of their own ability to change the world and to leave it a better place than they found it.
