Lisa Ray Instagram – Humbled and grateful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏼 Repost from @idreamzero using @RepostRegramApp – ‘How fortunate it is when life alters you without warning.’ These lines were an introduction to a memoir by @lisaraniray called Close to the Bone. Honestly, I had no intention of reading it. Ms Ray’s life did not hold any meaning to me simply because I do not know her. I just knew her as that supermodel who surprised everyone by doing Water. (A must watch BTW) and survived Cancer. That’s all I knew. . So when I did start reading it, I was already prepared to leave it. Perhaps it was to be a lesson about how assumptions can kill something before it is even allowed to grow. . But reading Close to the Bone does what well written memoirs do, they let you feel each emotion, choice, flaw, brilliance, darkness and state of mind of the writer. There is a certain strength in telling your story and that strength is contagious. That’s how I feel. . I am glad I read her memoir. Please give it a read. Looking forward to more of Lisa Ray’s literary works in the future. ❤️🖖
