But what if we could find better language than forced positivity to express our hopes and our anxieties? \u003cem\u003eHave a Beautiful, Terrible Day!\u003c\/em\u003e is packed with bite-size reflections and action-oriented steps to help you get through the day, be it good, bad, or totally mediocre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThis is a devotional for the rest of us—which is to say, the people who don’t have magical lives that always work out for the best. Composed during a season of chronic pain, Bowler understands how every day can be an obstacle course. She encourages us to develop our capacity to feel the breadth of our experiences, proving that the better we are at identifying our highs and lows, the more resilient we become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eLike modern-day psalms, Bowler’s spiritual reflections look for the ways we can expand our capacity for courage, love, and honesty—while discovering divine moments with God. Featuring bonus sections specifically designed for the seasons of Advent and Lent, this book helps build a daily habit of spiritual attentiveness. May all your days be lovely.
