Publisher Description
Carrying baggage you don't need?
When I was in college, I figured my life would come together around graduation. I’d meet a guy, have a beautiful wedding, and we'd buy a nice little house—not necessarily with a picket fence, but with whatever kind of fence we wanted. Whatever we decided, I would be happy.
When I got out of college and my life didn’t look like that, I floundered, trying to get the life I had always dreamed of through career, travel, and relationships. But none of them satisfied me as I hoped. Like many twentysomethings, I tried to discover the life of my dreams, but instead I just kept accumulating baggage—school loans, electronics I couldn’t afford, hurt from broken relationships, and unmet expectations for what life was “supposed to be” like.
Just when I had given up all hope of finding the “life I’d always dreamed about,” I decided to take a trip to all fifty states . . . because when you go on a trip, you can’t take your baggage. What I found was that “packing light” wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.
This is the story of my trip and learning to live life with less baggage.
Customer Reviews
Incredible and insightful
My wife and I are about to throw caution to the wind , sell our house, and live full time in a 40 foot motor home, and I saw the title of this book, and thought it just might give me some helpful insights. It did indeed, but it did more than that. It made me reflect on my life in ways I had never done (I am 65 years old and retired). I too, like the author, took various leaps of faith in the past, and I have often wrestled with my motives and how all that fit into God’s plan and will. As I read and reflected, the wrestling has eased quite a bit. What and incredibly insightful book! It spoke to my heart I’m so many good and helpful ways, and I am so grateful I happened upon it!
Great Life Concept!
I loved this book! I think this is a must read for anyone whom needs a change or awakening in their life. Often times we don’t realize how much baggage we hold and rely on. This is such a beautiful story and life learning lesson.
