The Art of Dancing in the Rain: All of Life's a Dance

The forecast
calls for scattered happiness,
with a fifty percent chance of joy.
Occasional disasters likely,
followed by extended periods of hope.
Sporadic crises, mixed with kindness,
are also anticipated.
from The Art of Dancing in the Rain\n"Margaret B. Moss has a way with words. She ought to, she’s been writing them for her own and others’ entertainment since she was seven years old. Having traversed most of the junk life throws at us, with her poetry and prose, Margaret has turned drama into comedy, despair into hope, confusion into clarity, pain into love. And there is no greater value to the wordsmith’s craft than that. This exquisite collection, much of it from her decade of social media presence, will provide the reader with some delicious gems, some of which may even change your life." Sue Fitzmaurice, author of "Purpose — Making Sure Purpose Finds You," "The Smart Seeker's Guide to Spiritual Bullshit"\n“All of life is a dance and Margaret Moss captures the truth of this in
poetry, prose, and essay. Uplifting and well-crafted, her words inspire
a cover-to-cover read or a casual turn to a random page. The
half-million people who follow Margaret on social media certainly
understand what she offers — just the right words at the most
amazingly perfect moment. And this book carries forward with that
practice. I often turn to Margaret for a lift. Perhaps you will too.”
Mary Anne Em Radmacher, author and poet of Courage Doesn't Always
Roar, Live With Intention\n“An uplifting and beautiful collection. A celebration of life, love, and resilience. Margaret Moss not only dances in the rain, but beautifully paints with her words. A warm gift for your heart when things are cold.”
Sheila M. Burke, author of Bullsh*t to Butterflies, Being Better Humans\n"There are moments in life when you meet someone that just touches your soul from the very first conversation you have. That person is Margaret B. Moss. We have had many an enlightening and heartfelt conversation and now I have had the privilege of reading her book. I have lived every word and feel every word. I particularly love the Gratitude chapter and following passage:
“Breathe in the life all around you;
breathe out your grateful energy.
That’s enough.
You are enough.”
It’s the reminder we all need to hear in the night when no one else is around and we are feeling doubt in our lives. "You are enough" — it is then that we surrender and truly understand that we are enough and that there is more to this life than the dark. Margaret shows us the way toward light the with her writing and the sentiment that “Life is a Dance." I, for one, find myself dancing through all of the emotions that this beautiful book brings about.
