Have you ever noticed how the most profound moments in life sneak up on you? Not in the grand gestures or milestone celebrations, but in the quiet Tuesday afternoon when someone brings you soup, or the way your neighbor waves from across the street. Anne Lamott's "Somehow" arrived on bookshelves in 2023 like a permission slip to stop chasing the extraordinary and start noticing what's already here. Within days, it claimed its spot on the New York Times bestseller list, not because it promised transformation or breakthrough, but because it dared to suggest something more radical: that love is already everywhere, tromping and plopping through our lives in the most unglamorous ways imaginable. As a six-year-old once explained when asked to define love: "Oh, it's just this stuff." That's it. That's the whole secret. Love isn't the fireworks-it's the cleanup crew that stays after the show ends, sweeping up the debris and making sure everyone gets home safely.
