Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Private Practice and How to get away with murder. How many people know about these shows that we, some of us, slavishly followed? Who can agree that there are fascinating people in all her series? I have seen all four of the aforementioned series and have to say that they are fantastic series. The titles of the series almost speak for themselves. Relationships, problems, successes, personal dilemmas, happiness, love. The topics covered are many and it is exciting to get to know the actors. Shonda has done such an amazing job writing these series, the dialogues and the stories.

Do more of life and feel life


To be able to create your own empire based on fictional characters, thanks to the mindset of Shonda Rhimes, is a great thing. I could sit in my room and fantasize, think, create and live in another world. Escape this world, or not. That’s not what it’s about. Maybe for some. Not for me. Shonda Rhimes calls herself a liar. Exciting to say something like that. Early on, you find out why she says that. Give yourself the opportunity to read the book to find out.

Who am I? How have I lived? Have I wasted important years? A single word, a simple short three-letter word, a resounding yes, it can strike fear into all of us. Because we leave our well-known comfortable comfort zone. It is with mixed feelings of horror that we all say yes from time to time, every now and then, to something we never thought we would be able to do. You grow as a person and you become the person you were actually meant to be.



Shonda Rhimes lets us follow her journey through the year that changes her life. The urge to say yes even after those 365 days is strong and she longs for more opportunities, possibilities, chances and adventures to which she can say yes. It makes me happy to see her taking the step to face her fear. How she, who has been so extremely introverted, actually believes in herself as a person. She doesn’t just live by her fantasies. She lives for real.


The book is incredibly easy to read. The first page doesn’t contain many words. There are only a few words. Will it continue to be so short on words? A person who writes for a living. Can that be true? No, it doesn’t. Page after page is filled with her words about her years of saying YES to things. Things she never even imagined being a part of.
