In Defense of Dabbling

“Karen Walrond brings us back to the simple joy of doing things just because we want to--no pressure to get it exactly right. She invites us to follow our curiosity, play a little more, and remember what it's like to explore for the fun of it.”

The Lightmaker's Manifesto

Christian Living

“At Amy Poehler's Smart Girls, we have a simple motto: 'Change the world by being yourself.' However, because trying to change the world, even in a small way, is tough work, and being yourself isn't always easy, we often feel disappointed and joyless. We don't experience the great joy in just being alive, or remember that joy comes in the midst of disappointment, not instead of it. Karen Walrond has grasped this deep truth, and she invites us to see what we have so often been missing. The Lightmaker's Manifesto offers all of us a way to look at a broken world, and at our incomplete selves, with a fresh and vital perspective.”
