Spotlight Life: It Is What It Is by Lisa Sugarman

October 28, 2014 By Mary Leave a Comment

Published by CreateSpace Genres: Memoir
Buy on Amazon

LIFE IT IS WHAT IT IS

We expend massive amounts of energy in pursuit of perfection. If only we could never make mistakes or encounter unpleasant obstacles, oh, wouldn’t life be just perfect? Maybe, but it would also be static, unfulfilling, and really, really boring.

Humorist Lisa Sugarman knows that life is a work in progress. She knows what we all suspect—life is at its best when it’s fluid, unpredictable, and gloriously imperfect. And if this means life sometimes turns ugly and unpleasant, it only makes the good times that much sweeter.

Author of opinion column It Is What It Is, Lisa embraces reality, not perfection. We’re supposed to be imperfect. We’re meant to screw up, make bad decisions, and lose our way. We can’t control everything that life throws at us, but we can control how we react to it.

With the right attitude and a little guidance from Lisa, anyone can be happy and fulfilled most of the time. Her collection of funny, inspiring, and sometimes poignant columns reminds us that life is not a straight line, even on the best of days, and it’s the twists in the road which make the journey so beautiful.
