Laurie Russell is co-founder of Elevate Publishing (formerly Russell Media) and writes and speaks regularly to a wide variety of audiences. She has lived and worked in Russia, Chile and Germany and currently lives in Boise, Idaho with her husband, Mark, their children, Noah and Anastasia, and a random and growing assortment of pets.
"On the eve of turning 50, Russell (I Love Him, I Love Him Not, I Finally Love Him) decides it's a good time to take stock of what truly matters in life--and what needs to change. Doling out her wry observations with snarky panache, Russell is a hilarious guide to coming to terms with mortality and transformation. Whether quipping about her aging body, which has declared mutiny against her healthy lifestyle habits, or explaining how she--along with her entire generation--seems to be sandwiched between raising children and caring for elderly parents, Russell is consistently gut-busting funny. Divided into four parts, the text covers the internal angst of aging, physical deterioration, society's negatively frenetic influence on individuals, and facing the future by finding humor in any predicament. Russell offers readers poignant quotes from famous personages as jumping-off points for her thoughts on faith, but never delves too deeply into scripture. Readers will find their happy place page after page in this delightful, fun-loving text on aging with gratitude and elegance."--Publishers Weekly
