This book won Best in Self-Help/Inspirational, and after reading it, I can understand why.

Using her own story as a base, the author easily leads you along the pathways that she richly describes and illuminates.  While many self-help books tend to tell you how easy a change can be, this author has a much more realistic approach.  Early in the book, she talks about those who read vast amounts of self-help books or take the classes but whose lives stay the same.  Because, no matter what you read or view, handing the responsibility of your change to someone else does not make it magically happen – YOU have to make the change.  She later reinforces this thought with the section on “If You Want Things to Change, You Have to Do Something Different.”

I believe the line that will stay with me from this book was the section heading “Slowing Things Down – Becoming a Human Being Rather Than a Human Doing.”   This made me stop and think about all the times I allow life to control me and instead of being in a moment I am running in the moment.

I found this a refreshing way to start my New Year.  Reading the book helped me determine what I need to do if I would like to accomplish my goals for 2019.
