About Chasing Slow: Courage To Journey Off The Beaten Path

Product Description Chasing Slow models HGTV star Erin Loechner's journey to help you break out of the faster-better-stronger trap and make small changes to refresh your perspective, renew your priorities, and shift your focus to what matters most.  You're here, but you want to be there. So you spend your life narrowing this divide, and you call this your race, your journey, your path. You live your days tightening your boot straps, wiping the sweat from your brow, chasing undiscovered happiness just around the bend. And on and on you run.  Viral sensation and HGTV.com star Erin Loechner knows about the chase. Before turning 30, she'd earned the title "The Nicest Girl Online" as she was praised for her authentic voice and effortless style. Her HGTV web show garnered over one million fans worldwide, and her client list includes Walt Disney World, IKEA, Martha Stewart and Home Depot. The New York Times applauded her, her friends and church admired her, and her husband and baby adored her.  She had arrived at the ultimate destination. So why did she feel so lost?  Through a series of steep climbs--her husband's brain tumor, bankruptcy, family loss, and public criticism--Erin learns just how much strength it takes to surrender it all, and to veer right into grace. In Chasing Slow, Erin upgrades her life through downsizing--her stuff, her obligations, her fears, her personal metric of "perfect." And ultimately, her invitation becomes yours: to turn away from the fast and frenzy, and find freedom in a new-fashioned lifestyle defined by grace. Life's answers are not always hidden where they seem. It's time to venture off the beaten path to see that we’ve already been given everything we need. We've already arrived.  You see? You'll see. Review When you find you are drowning in your own life---working harder, sleeping less, putting out fires, filling your hours with to-dos, and enjoying very little of it---I pray that Erin Loechner’ s gentle, wise book will find its way into your hands. Chasing Slow guides us to a simpler life worth living. Prepare to feel your heart rate drop as you read these soothing, smart words. ( ―Gabrielle Blair, mother of six; blogger; author, New York Times bestselling Design Mom) Erin's writing is beautiful, and this book is soulful and practical, honest and inspiring. For all of us who are tempted to perform and filter and prove--which is, I think, all of us--this is a necessary conversation about a deeper, better way of living. ( ―Shauna Niequist, author, Present Over Perfect and Savor) In the fast lane of life, this book is a much needed rest stop for the soul. ( ―Bethany Joy Clark, global brand ambassador, TOMS) Beautifully written. Beautifully lived. Chasing Slow will capture your attention, shift your perspective on life, and mark your journey as you move toward what matters. ( ―Ellie Holcomb, singer/songwriter; Dove Award–winning artist) When the world yells, “Be more, run faster, try harder,” I’ll pick up this book again to remind me that true joy lies in the beauty of slow and present. With grace and humor, Erin tells the stories I need to hear and brought my heart back home. ( ―Kelle Hampton, author, New York Times bestselling memoir Bloom) Erin Loechner has a calming presence, a reassuring voice, and a life-giving soul. You'll walk away from these pages shifted and feeling whole instead of hurried. Her words are a brave call to a fast-paced generation, and I cannot suggest reading them enough. ( ?Jess Connolly, speaker; author of You Are the Girl for the Job; coauthor of Wild and Free) Reading Chasing Slow is like eating a really scrumptious meal that also happens to be good for you. Erin’s voice is honest even when it hurts, inviting even when we don’t deserve the invitation. I consumed this delicious, compelling book in a weekend and bled my highlighter dry along the way. ( ―Raechel Myers, cofounder and CEO, She Reads Truth) Erin has always stood out as someone who knows how to get
