A great easy read！ I will be coming back to certain sections of this because there are so many great reminders for so many stages of life！ I loved the simplicity of some of the poetry and the end of each section being a checklist type format in summary

Absolutely beautiful！ Lessons I will cherish over and over again。 I plan to share several readings during my restorative yoga class because I found them to be so supportive & profound。 Ms Nichols’ words felt like a soft place for me to land during a somewhat transitional time in my life。 Thank you for sharing your gifts with us！

This one wasn't my fave， but I still really enjoyed it。 I liked the different "themes"/"chapters" and how the poems were on a theme。 This series focuses on being a better you and embracing who you are。 This one wasn't my fave， but I still really enjoyed it。 I liked the different "themes"/"chapters" and how the poems were on a theme。 This series focuses on being a better you and embracing who you are。 。。。more

This book was so uplifting。 It’s a book that will just make you HAPPY as cheesy as that sounds。 Morgan’s words are so beautifully written， and the illustrations are just beautiful。

Morgan Harper has such a beautiful way with words。 I have followed along with her journey on IG for years and always look to her wisdom when I need a boost。 While I did the audio book and loved listening to her read her own poetry， I wish I'd had a print copy because I kept pausing as I went to write down her thoughtful observations on life！！“The heartbreak you’ve known gives you a greater capacity for empathy and being present with others。 As you fly forward may you be empowered by how far you Morgan Harper has such a beautiful way with words。 I have followed along with her journey on IG for years and always look to her wisdom when I need a boost。 While I did the audio book and loved listening to her read her own poetry， I wish I'd had a print copy because I kept pausing as I went to write down her thoughtful observations on life！！“The heartbreak you’ve known gives you a greater capacity for empathy and being present with others。 As you fly forward may you be empowered by how far you have come and to discover you have all the tools you need to continue。” So much hit home in this little series。 Morgan knows that these past few years have been hard， but that we're all still seeking joy。 She reminds us to seek beauty in the every day， these little "honey moments" to cling to。 “Everything you are learning is a piece of a bigger picture。 You will not always be able to see its purpose in real time。” At just under 2 hours， it's the perfect audiobook to add to your morning walk or use as a daily devotion for encouragement。 Order your own copy today:Amazon LinkIf you want to see more of what I'm reading each day， follow me on InstagramTo watch my monthly updates and author chats， check out my Book Tube channelTo read my in depth reviews and see author Q&A's， head to my blogAll audio books are from Libro FM to support my local bookstore， Boulder Bookstore。 。。。more

An absolute breath of fresh air。 Wonderous drawings helped the words on each page come alive。 I felt myself surrounded by colour， breathing in each word， digesting its meaning and letting it fill me with brief and relief， all at once。

Easy to read。 I wasn’t aware of the previous two books， I will be purchasing those soon。 Overall the book was colorful full of life and relatable。 I enjoyed how she compared the animals and nature to the phases or events in our lives。

Such a BEAUTIFUL book。 I loved the colors， the artwork and the poetry。 The words felt powerful， but I also enjoyed the simplicity of it。 Thank you Morgan， for sharing the words of wisdom written in your heart。 It was a quick read， but I didn’t want it to end。 Will definitely re-read and take new things from it each time I do。 ❤️❤️

Overall， this is a quite simple collection of thoughts and perspectives， and there is nothing wrong with simplicity。 I really enjoyed the bonus poems that are included in the audiobook。 This was my first attempt at listening to an audiobook so at times it was tough to concentrate because MHN's voice is very calming。 Thank you to Libro。fm for the ALC of this book。 Overall， this is a quite simple collection of thoughts and perspectives， and there is nothing wrong with simplicity。 I really enjoyed the bonus poems that are included in the audiobook。 This was my first attempt at listening to an audiobook so at times it was tough to concentrate because MHN's voice is very calming。 Thank you to Libro。fm for the ALC of this book。 。。。more

YOU ARE ONLY JUST THE BEGINNING。 Pub Date: 2/14 *OUT NOWWhat a comforting listen this was！ I like to read poetry from time to time and what Morgan Harper Nichols served us here was inspirational and just what I needed。I found this essay collection was easy to follow along， clocking in at just over two hours on audio （at 1。2 x） or 200 pages。 It would make for a fantastic introduction if you wanted to dip your toes into poetry waters。 I kept it at a slow speed so that I could fully comprehend/take YOU ARE ONLY JUST THE BEGINNING。 Pub Date: 2/14 *OUT NOWWhat a comforting listen this was！ I like to read poetry from time to time and what Morgan Harper Nichols served us here was inspirational and just what I needed。I found this essay collection was easy to follow along， clocking in at just over two hours on audio （at 1。2 x） or 200 pages。 It would make for a fantastic introduction if you wanted to dip your toes into poetry waters。 I kept it at a slow speed so that I could fully comprehend/take in the flow of her words。 There are bonus poems at the end of the audiobook that is not included in the print copy！ The physical is stunning by the way。Upon finishing I went to Morgan's website and read her blog。 Come to find out she has many talents！ I also read that she has an autism diagnosis。 This couldn't hit any closer to home， as two of my children are on the spectrum。 She shares her story there from February of 2021。 She is a brilliant human being！Please note that just like with memoirs， I don't give a star rating on poetry。 Everyone has their own spin， take and rhythm & rhyme。 I choose to not disrupt the beauty。 One word to sum it up: Delightful and big thanks to @librofm for this ALC！ 。。。more

MHN is one of my favorite poets and artists of all time。 Reading her third poetry book in her incredible trilogy was such a joy — it may even be my favorite of the series。 I adored how her poems were split into sections of art and nature themes。 She is simply amazing。

While I usually enjoy reading Morgan's quotes on Instagram， I'm not sure how well it works in an audiobook format。。 The poetry just ends up feeling clichéd and repetitive overall :/That being said， there were definitely a few lines here and there that I'd felt like I resonated with - and I'm sure the right demographic would also enjoy this collectionRating: 1。5/5— thank you libro。fm and Zondervan publishing for providing the ALC in exchange for a review。 All opinions are my own。 While I usually enjoy reading Morgan's quotes on Instagram， I'm not sure how well it works in an audiobook format。。 The poetry just ends up feeling clichéd and repetitive overall :/That being said， there were definitely a few lines here and there that I'd felt like I resonated with - and I'm sure the right demographic would also enjoy this collectionRating: 1。5/5— thank you libro。fm and Zondervan publishing for providing the ALC in exchange for a review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

A lovely， inspiring collection of poems meant to encourage you on your journey of self-discovery and finding your own way。 While the audio was fantastic， this might be one to purchase in physical form because of the illustrations。 Perfect for the graduation gifts we'll need to be purchasing soon！ A lovely， inspiring collection of poems meant to encourage you on your journey of self-discovery and finding your own way。 While the audio was fantastic， this might be one to purchase in physical form because of the illustrations。 Perfect for the graduation gifts we'll need to be purchasing soon！ 。。。more

Would make a good graduation gift。 Not a book to be read all at once， but one to be dipped in and out of occasionally

This was the perfect pick me up on a Monday morning。 Both inspirational and poetic， I want to print it out and hang it on the walls of my office。 It was also awesome that MHN herself narrated it！ I do think that I lost a little bit by listening to it rather than seeing the words on the page， but it was an overall nice experience。*Thank you to LibroFM for an ALC in exchange for my honest review*

I read this c/o Libro。fm and as a long time fan of MHN's Instagram， I was excited to get to read her newest poetry collection。 Sadly， this one wasn't a collection I really connected with。 When I read poetry， I appreciate a more nuanced style that can be read and left open for interpretation。 I like that if I read a poem and then 5 of my friends read the same poem， we all come away with a different understanding。 These poems were very straight forward， cut and dry which didn't allow for that kind I read this c/o Libro。fm and as a long time fan of MHN's Instagram， I was excited to get to read her newest poetry collection。 Sadly， this one wasn't a collection I really connected with。 When I read poetry， I appreciate a more nuanced style that can be read and left open for interpretation。 I like that if I read a poem and then 5 of my friends read the same poem， we all come away with a different understanding。 These poems were very straight forward， cut and dry which didn't allow for that kind of experience for me and for that reason， it just didn't appeal to me。 。。。more

I was so excited when I found Morgan’s newest book of poems at the bookstore ahead of launch day earlier this week！ I discovered her work in June and thoroughly loved All Along You Were Blooming and How Far You Have Come。This third book of poems earned another 5 stars from me。 It’s stunningly beautiful。 Every time I read her poetry collections， I want to get extra copies of the books so I can frame the colorful pages and hang them all over the walls in my office。 The artwork she creates to accom I was so excited when I found Morgan’s newest book of poems at the bookstore ahead of launch day earlier this week！ I discovered her work in June and thoroughly loved All Along You Were Blooming and How Far You Have Come。This third book of poems earned another 5 stars from me。 It’s stunningly beautiful。 Every time I read her poetry collections， I want to get extra copies of the books so I can frame the colorful pages and hang them all over the walls in my office。 The artwork she creates to accompany her pretty words is so lovely。 I especially loved the rich rainbow of colors she used in this volume。Morgan’s poetry is always so timely for me。 It touches my soul， helps me to feel hopeful and reminds me I am not alone。 She speaks my heart language。Beautifully done， Morgan！ Congratulations on the release of your newest book this week！ 💜 。。。more

If the sun rises slowly into the day， then so can I。 This book was good for what it was， but I am not its intended audience。 It’s obviously Christian poetry， and that’s just not me。 It was beautifully narrated and I can see how the intended audience would enjoy it。 I turn to poetry for emotion and to feel emotions and this just didn’t do it for me。 I didn’t come out of this with lines that spoke deeply to me。 That’s not to say I wouldn’t recommend it to someone in its target audience。 Thank you If the sun rises slowly into the day， then so can I。 This book was good for what it was， but I am not its intended audience。 It’s obviously Christian poetry， and that’s just not me。 It was beautifully narrated and I can see how the intended audience would enjoy it。 I turn to poetry for emotion and to feel emotions and this just didn’t do it for me。 I didn’t come out of this with lines that spoke deeply to me。 That’s not to say I wouldn’t recommend it to someone in its target audience。 Thank you Zondervan and Libro。fm for the advanced listener copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
