Award winning writer and Cincinnati Enquirer Our Town columnist Monica Scalf is on a mission to find the extra in the ordinary, even on days when her jeans are too tight, her keys are lost, and her one elusive goal is to take a nap. Her first book, Live in the Little, is filled with humorous anecdotes, uplifting advice, and practical ways to find the extra in the ordinary, chaos and all. In this collection of 52 quick pick me ups, you'll laugh, you'll think, and you'll appreciate just how extraordinary everyday life can be . . . even in the midst of carpools, new wrinkles, and general states of exhaustion. With stress levels skyrocketing and anxiety accumulating, Live in the Little is the perfect antidote to achieve a sense of perspective amidst the ups and downs of modern living. Monica shows that it is possible to create a life of joy, energy, and humor starting right where you are with what you have.
