LOVE LOVE LOVE

I will listen to this many more times and renewed my Audible subscription so I could.
I feel like I've met Andrea everywhere.
Her words stick with me like lint to a pair of black slacks. Her frequency is addictive and I simply must have more.
Love you Sister, Like no other. Peace2u's ALWAYS. xoxo

Touches the center of being

I think that the title covers it. This writing is like a snow globe settling.

Beautiful Work, Presented With Such Raw Emotion

So beautiful & moving, I could listen to her speak for hours. I highly recommend this audiobook!

The company I keep

Andrea, you’ve walked with me through more than a decade of my life. Thank you for encapsulating this insane journey of embracing pain and becoming more human. You are everything.

Incredible

Words and feelings that I never knew existed. Absolutely beautiful and I will revisit it often.

Moved to tears

So honest and creative - cutting like a knife to the very heart beating center. Couldn’t wait to immediately restar it from the beginning.

Stunning

I am still in awe by the words. I’ve sent to three friends to listen to.

Spacious

Broken me open and I feel like I leveled out after each word.
My heart feel more spacious and I am again reminded of my own belovedness.

Goose bumps

This is the kind of art that cuts through all the small talk and pierces your soul. And hearing these searing story fragments spoken by Andrea herself brings all the emotion in these poems/stories to life.

Forces you to feel

I bought this book because the preview seemed okay and there were no red flags in the reviews. I downloaded it and started listening because it was relatively short and took almost no commitment to listen to. I was less than 2 minutes in when I started crying, just as I've needed to do and couldn't for at least weeks now. This is beautiful, raw, and you will benefit from listening to it.
