Beautiful words from the heart

By Joanne

Beautifully written. A wonderful reminder that we all have much to be grateful for, even when things don’t seem to be going well, and that by focusing on what we have and the wonder of God’s creation, we can improve our outlook and spirit. The short chapters which end with advice on how to get the most out of the gifts we have been given make it the perfect book to keep on hand to pick up, open at random, and read to help get your mind focused on the beauty that surrounds us. I have purchased several copies as gifts and, as a matter of fact, am back online now to purchase another for a family member who is currently struggling.

By Laurie Slinger

A lovely book written from the heart of the author. I loved the inspirational quotes that were at the beginning of each chapter and the affirmations at each chapters end. Everything in between was honest and thought provoking; as if the author was sitting down with you having a cup of tea on a rainy afternoon and sharing some of life’s lessons. Using the “Rose” from the garden as a metaphor spoke to me in such a beautiful and peaceful way. I have given this book to four of my closest friends. It is a gem.
