Product Description
In October 2003, Patti Digh’s stepfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died 37 days later. The timeframe made an impression on her. What emerged was a commitment to ask herself every morning: What would I be doing today if I had only 37 days left to live? The answers changed her life and led to this new kind of book. Part meditation, part how-to guide, part memoir, Life is a Verb is all heart.
Within these pages—enhanced by original artwork and wide, inviting margins ready to be written in—Digh identifies six core practices to jump-start a meaningful life: Say Yes, Trust Yourself, Slow Down, Be Generous, Speak Up, and Love More. Within this framework she supplies 37 edgy, funny, and literary life stories, each followed by a “do it now” 10-minute exercise as well as a practice to try for 37 days—and perhaps the rest of your life.

Who are the special people in your life? Pick them out, and buy them this book. Patti is inspiring in her candor, the stories are touching and asks us all to live more intentionally. She even suggests how.
Patti moves me to act mindfully, reminds me of the ways I can slip, and speaks the truths I don’t always have to guts to say. Her blog is one of my must reads. The book is beautifully illustrated by her readers artwork. It’s a special gift I am buying for all my closest friends. Just because.

The book is wonderful!! I have been reading Patti Digh’s blog for several months and preordered the book back in April. After having the book for only a few minutes, I knew I must order one for my daughter and my mother. They are both in love with the book!!
