Welcome to Lowi & G. We are sisters by chance, and friends by choice. We are sarcastic, striving, and struggling zen masters. In our collection of stories, we share our manifesto for living a full and vibrant life outside the lines: We are committed to happiness, fulfillment, feeling good enough, getting help, and helping others. We strongly believe that our place in the world-dysfunction junction-is being inhabited by many of you as well. And it's time to say it, own it, and get a laugh out of it. We are knee-deep in this road trip of life and the map was blown out the window many dirt-road miles ago. We strive to say yes to those things that force us to choose between the well-worn path and the one less traveled, to leap face first into the unknown, to choose love and laughter over sadness and fear. We are stumbling toward living a genuine, open, and real life. And, we like to do that with a healthy dose of sarcasm, but also take time to bask in the vulnerable joys of sunshine. We traffic in the rawness of life, truth, and then chase it with forays into gratitude, redemption, and a shot of laughter.
