Rachel Macy Stafford is a writer with one goal: to help people choose love as much as humanly possible. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Hands Free Mama, Hands Free Life, and Only Love Today; a certified special education teacher with a Master's Degree in education; an in-demand speaker, and beloved blogger who inspires millions in her weekly blog posts at handsfreemama.comand through her supportive Facebook community, The Hands Free Revolution.
In these conversational essays, Stafford (Hands Free Mama) urges
readers to set aside the world’s distractions and put love at the
top of their to-do lists. Stafford, who describes herself as a
“recovering perfectionist, reformed rusher, and multi-tasker,”
admits this is no easy task. With a voice that is equal measures
poetry and best-friend-over-coffee, she draws from her own life as
a special education teacher and mother to encourage women to seek
out a less stressful, more people-focused way of living. Organized
around the seasons, these essays explore topics such as renewal,
growth, authenticity, connection, grace, awareness, hope, and
introspection. Stafford brings a voice that is both inspirational
and authentic to a topic that can often take a lifetime to get the
hang of. Broken into easy-to-read chunks, this book meets today’s
busy moms where they live.
*Publishers Weekly*
Stafford (Hands Free Mama, Hands Free Life) presents a
self-disclosing inspirational text that will stop her readers dead
in their tracks (which is her intent). She offers minuscule
glimpses of beautiful discovery for those who linger long enough in
the moment to see them. The author shares the terrifying seasons of
her recent physical ailments and subsequent surgeries to illustrate
how God can work in even these painful elements. Stafford’s work
here is almost an ode to her daughters’ unique and winsome
personalities. She presents these devotions in an easy-to-digest
(sometimes poetic) style that moms of every age will relate and
benefit from immensely. Only Love Today is the gift book to give
yourself and order several more for the moms in your life who are
fresh out of perspective and overfull of self loathing and
self-condemnation. Stafford’s ability to cut through the “yuck” and
to the “yes!” of life is a rare skill indeed.
