And we don’t always know it or understand it at the time, in the season,
but nothing grows without a good amount of dirt.”
Life is dirty and then it’s beautiful and wild. Learning to overcome life’s obstacles and tribulations, Kylee Marshall weaves a delicately crafted story about finding the beauty in our dirt and the courage to grow wildly. In Of Dirt and Wildflowers, Kylee helps you …
- revisit the stories of your past—the stories that others told you, that you created, that you told yourself
- embrace the current season of your life—the day-to-day, the mundane, the present tense
- aspire toward your future—the dreams that wake you, the hopes you carry, the wild risks
- and above all, to stop being the perfectionist that is sucking the joy out of truly living
Poetic and laced with imagery, Of Dirt and Wildflowers reminds us that life is less about the dirt in which we were planted and more about the space we take up as we grow.
