Dying to Live Your Life - by Lisabeth Mackall (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Death is our common end. Death can arrive when we least expect it--through injury, illness, and unexpected life events that bring death close to us, and we never feel like we are prepared Sometimes we skirt death and find ourselves renewed in life. We want to pursue new adventures, pathways and are energized to explore the best life has to offer. But why does it take facing death for us to live our best life? How do we embrace the greatness of our world without having to first face trauma and fear? Follow along in the journey of Lisabeth as she navigates through a second devastating life trauma, and how she realized that we can all focus on our time living, instead of worrying that we have not lived or done enough in the time that we have been given.

Review Quotes

Lisabeth Mackall is a mother, a daughter, a speech pathologist, a survivor. Lisabeth became an author after her husband, a law enforcement officer in Savage Minnesota, was involved in a car crash that almost ended his life. During his recovery, she blogged not only the status of his healing but poured her heart and emotion into that journey. Those moments became her first book, 27 miles: The Tank's Journey Home.

Using her natural ability to connect with people, Lisabeth recently documented her courageous battle with breast cancer, and began a new journey of forging ahead under trying circumstances. She uses this journey to bring forward the idea that we should all be present in the moment, and live life to the fullest with the time that we have been given. Dying to Live Your Life focuses on being the best right now, noticing and finding gratitude, and believing that there is always something worth being a part of, even when life looks the darkest.
