Love Your Life (Even When You Don’t Like It All the Time)

Let’s be honest: there are days where you look around and wonder why you don’t feel happiness when everything around you says you should.

With authenticity and transparency, Rachel debuts with the warm and practical Love Your Life (Even When You Don’t Like It All the Time), a love letter to those of us who’ve worked really hard to build a beautiful, shiny life…but sometimes still feel a little lackluster. Rachel will help you see that, even in the hardship there are glimmers of joy to be found. In these pages you’ll discover a new definition and perspective of what it really means to live with joy; Simple-yet-effective tools to help you navigate through the everyday frustrations that can trip us up; A balm of encouragement and hope for your day-to-day life, helping you celebrate where God is moving in all circumstances; and Inspiration for incorporating rhythms of joy into your home, family and relationships. Abundance is choosing to believe that God is working for your good, even when life looks differently than you hoped. Life is hard, but it’s so good―and it’s yours for the taking.
