What a beautiful meditation. What a gift Jesmyn Ward is to the world. Navigate Your Stars is a must-read for any graduate or soon to be graduate or someone who is breathing. This book is inspirational for everyone. EVERYONE.
I felt especially blessed to have listened to it because she reads it. Just read or listen to this book right now. It is the commencement speech that Ward gave to the students at Tulane and I bet they never will forget it. I know I won't.
What's Going On Here?
There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.
