The Poet Maggie Smith Makes This Place Beautiful Make Your Own Map: Are YOU Ready to be BRAVE?

    • Society & Culture

Thank you Maggie Smith for joining me on my podcast to talk about her
new book, You Could Make This Place Beautiful!

"What now? I am out with lanterns, looking for myself. But here’s the
thing about carrying light with you: No matter where you go, and no
matter what you find—or don’t find—you change the darkness just by
entering it. You clear a path through it....
My life is like the ocean that scientists just discovered—something
that’s been on maps and atlases, hiding in plain view as part of another
whole. This new ocean was always there, always itself, but we are only
now recognizing it." Maggie Smith, You Could Make This Place Beautiful

Maggie Smith joins me on my podcast to discuss: "the power of learning
to come home to yourself."

I loved reading her book and her prose is truly like poetry. Her chapter
titles are guideposts and the way they repeat like a chorus of a song
but add more information is nearly like having a narrator sitting at
your side.
