More Language of Letting Go: 366 New Daily Meditations (Hazelden Meditation Series)

These short daily writings are insightful and profound. It is amazing how on many days, what is written for that day is exactly what I need to hear. I recommend this very highly. I have both books and jump between them. They both compliment each other completely. Good whether you have a lot of time in your day, or if you are rushed.

After working a 12 step for 9 months, read Language of Letting Go. Brought me in touch w/my feelings. Then my spouse went intoAA. "More Language of Letting Go" continued me on my path togetting in touch w/my feelings. There's no index, but youwill find it comical how you do read the book. I highly recommend Beattie's "Journey to the Heart" as a follow-up tothis one! By reading these 3 books, I know more what I want and can namethe things I want. Before I couldn't. Beattie pegs it beautifully, when no one else can.

This is a WONDERFUL daily reading! I read it through last year and am starting over this year. There are some passages that just jump out and smack you in the head because they relate to what you are going throught at the exact time you read it.

Without Melody and The Language of Letting Go, I would be lost. I read my book until I had to replace it because it was so worn out. It is so nice to have another addition of daily devotions or thoughts to read, it makes us dig deeper and review our progress. Also, the activities help us reflect on postivie actions, instead of dweling on the negatives we all encounter every day. Again, without her wonderful experiences and honesty, I can say I probaly would not be a great mother or have maintained an excellent marriage for 7 years. Keep writing because we love you!

Another great book from the premier guru of recovery! In "The Language of Letting Go" Melody Beattie gave us 365 memorable meditations on detaching from toxic relationships. "More Language of Letting Go" takes us to new heights ;-) as Melody uses metaphors of skydiving as her framework.Life is handing you scary changes and challenges? Melody advises, say "WooHOO!" as you step into the unknown. Not sure how to handle a tricky situation? Try "dirt-diving," Melody suggests, rehearsing your movements "on the ground" before you need them for real "in the air." She speaks from an incredible fund of experience--and from the heart--as she counsels us to learn to say "Whatever" and to approach life with an attitude of gratitude.Melody's books are always a treasure store of no-nonsense, compassionate advice that works. In this book I particularly liked her comparing life to a high-risk sport. She suggests that as participants in life, we should sign a full waiver, accepting personal responsibility for all our decisions and forfeiting any right to recourse as a victim, "including my rights to blame, complain, and whine or hold someone else responsible for the path I choose to take." WooHOO! You GO, girl!Melody, your final chapter heading is a good description of this whole book: "How Sweet It Is!"
