Time to Get Your Whimsey On, Girlfriend
A while ago I was asked by the endlessly talented Annie Passanisi, Happiness Advocate and Whimsy Coach, to contribute to her book project: Whimsey for Wendys: Joy Infused Living for Grownups. So…I wrote an article to include in the book to tell my story of finding the ultimate happiness at age 47.
I am so proud to be part of this amazing gift to women! I want to share it with you. (Click here to go right to the book.)
Wondering what the heck this is? The “official” description is this: Whimsy For Wendys pulls from the whimsical wisdom of 12 women, as they work to apply childhood zest, zeal, wonder, and play to all aspects of life.
My description: Being a grownup DOESN’T HAVE TO SUCK! In fact it can be the best time of your life!
Why Wendy? J.M. Barrie’s famous heroine, the paramour of Peter Pan, is painted as the very pink of youthful zeal and girlish charm until the last chapter of the book and then WHAM – she booked a one way ticket on the Crone Express. She realizes she must leave Neverland to grow up (good girl, Wendy), forgets how to fly (bad bad BAD girl, Wendy) and ships her children and grandchildren off to have fun in her place (oh, come on! Seriously?).
Here are some of our reviews:
“It’s an invitation to know the Wendys better so we can recognize the Wendy in us and let her fly. It’s permission to reframe who we are by the stories we tell about ourselves. Who wouldn’t be inspired?” - Scrollwork
“You need this book. You deserve this book!!! While you check out this site I’m going to go PLAY!! Then I’m going to read this book again and highlight more lines. Make more notes on the side. I’m off to be a Wendy!” – Connie Gruning
