More From Anne Lamott

Ignorance and prejudice are the ballast of our ship of state - however, ships without ballast are not seaworthy and cannot sail in the tempests, nor reach a safe harbor.
Fear Ignorance Prejudice
Every time someone starts talking about weight, it takes away from the fight. no one is born at that weight. we grew into that weight. it is all about the challenge, more so than the weight.
Fighting Challenges
Earth walks on earth, glittering in gold; earth goes to earth, sooner than it wold; earth builds on earth, palaces and towers; earth says to earth, soon, all shall be ours.
Gold Towers Earth
Take a coin from your purse and invest it in your mind. it will come pouring out of your mind and overflow your purse.
Mind Pouring Coins
Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. at your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. you will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. losing weight is not a cure for life.

Memories Skulls Evil
And still it is not enough to have memories. one must be able to forget them when they are many, and one must have the great patience to wait until they come again. for it is not yet the memories themselves. not until they have turned to blood within us, to glance, to gesture, nameless and no longer to be distinguished from ourselves - not until then can it happen that in a most rare hour the first word of a verse arises in their midst and goes forth from them.
Memories Blood Waiting
I cling to my memories of glorious desperation.
Memories Desperation Glorious
Good memories are our second chance at happiness.
