Finding Feral

A Spacious Reclaiming of Life

By Andrea Pardue

Genre: Memoir

Book Description

After the death of my mother, I started to take stock of my life.  I was in midlife and it had been a hard, traumatic road.  This is my story of finding hope and myself in the tiny green of a sprout, the soaring austere of an eagle, color dripping from a paintbrush, and the possibility of a loving Creator.  This is a journey into my willfulness to embrace life at its essence and feel very much on purpose in this world.

"I love the emotion you have when you speak.  You have such a melodious way of communicating.  It is flowing, calming, and infused with warmth." - Amber Murphy

"I love feeling the desire you have to live in immense ways.  You inspire me." - Julianna Ehlert

Choice of the Week: Colors by Halsey

Halsey is a singer I came across awhile ago, so I thought I should pick Colors as my Monday choice. It was a hard decision because all of Halsey's songs are AMAZING! Its from her album called, Badlands. 

I like Halsey because she is a self made artist and worked extremely hard to get where she is right now. Colors is about how relationships can be all over the place sometimes. This verse just describes a real life situations.

"You were red, and you liked me because I was blue
But you touched me, and suddenly I was a lilac sky
Then you decided purple just wasn’t for you"

I can honestly listen to Colors on repeat for an hour, her voice draws me in. The lyrics are so clear and I feel like she puts one hundred and ten percent into ever song, which I appreciate. The whole album is just great, cannot wait for more music from Halsey!
