Visit her at PattiDigh.com.She says "I'm a writer, a speaker, and a mom. My work opens space for people to say a big YES to their lives--before it's too late. I'm about living like you're dying, because you are. Each moment is precious, and magic. It's hard to remember that when the laundry piles up and the dishes need washing, I know. My job is to remind you, through my writing, teaching, and speaking, that those "ordinary" things are your life--and to see what is extraordinary in them. To help you tell a story with your life that you'll love and be proud of at the end of it."

Reviews

"If I was in the midst of a terrible loss, I would want to spend time with Patti Digh. She has a powerful way of acknowledging the dark while pointing to the light. A warm friend and a wise guide, this book will help you open to a new reality, find balance in your grief, and move forward into a new day." --Susan Piver, author of The Wisdom of a Broken Heart "This book offers companionship on a difficult journey that most take alone because it is hard to bear, let alone convey, the truth of loss. Digh gently navigates these ways with beauty, tenderness and candor." --Mary Anne Radmacher, author of Lean Forward Into Your Life
