Once again, author Dolores Ayotte, as she did in her first book, "I'm Not Perfect and It's Okay" has shown wisdom that comes from personal experiences in life that are often overlooked.  In this book, Growing Up and Liking It (The Donut Holes) like the ones that we never see when we buy donuts - they are still there and as much a part of the donut as the outer ring itself. When we fail to see the donut holes, we fail to see the complete donut and with this analogy we often take the more common parts of life and leave out the center part that keeps it the shape of a rounded life as with the donut.The writer has found a way in her book to allow us to see the center parts of life and create or experience a fuller life experience. Some of the lessons can only be learned from life experiences and learning how to cope with or adjust in order to make life better. At other times, the lessons given are divinely inspired and cannot be learned from anyone but God. Remember, if you buy the donut holes at the donut shop you will find that they taste just like the donut and are to be enjoyed as much as the donut, such is life and the little things that can make our lives complete because they belong together.Life is full of pieces and problems such as spiritual, mental, emotional and sometimes physical as well that have to be addressed in order to live a "happy life". Life has a way of balancing when we load the scales of life equally, and Delores points this out with great passion in the book. Delores displays great knowledge and insight in her book and I highly recommend it.
