Popular blogger Lauren Casper shares poignantly simple yet profound wisdom about removing the barriers we construct around our hearts and doing life full-on, all from the least expected source: her five-year-old son, Mareto.
Five-year-old Mareto finds color and light in the ordinary happenings of every day and delights in beauty just waiting to be found. Those are lessons he shares, often unknowingly, with his mom, Lauren Casper.
For Lauren, living with Mareto is a lot like playing the telephone game. He blurts out little phrases that have their origin in something he saw or heard, but by the time they make their way through his mind and back out of his mouth, theyve transformedoften into beautiful truths about living a simple, authentic, love- and joy-filled life.
From "its okay about it," a simple reminder that even when life is painful or difficult, things will be okay because God promises never to leave or forsake his children, to "youre making me feelings," which teaches the importance of leaning into ones emotions and, in doing so, sharing a piece of oneself with loved onesMaretos simple yet profound wisdom is a reminder to embrace the broken beauty of life, to believe in a God bigger than human comprehension, and to love others even when it doesnt make sense.
For all those looking to recapture the faith, simplicity, wonder, hope, courage, and joy of life, Its Okay About It provides a guide to look inward and live outward, to discover the most wide open and beautiful life possible.
