Disclosure: I received a copy of the book Happiness Quotations: Gentle Reminders of Your Preciousness for the purpose of review.

Picture
Some days feel like a rollercoaster ride. One minute you’re smiling because your kids are so darn cute! The next, you’re completely wiped and the house has somehow exploded before your eyes. Those are the times I’m tempted to get rid of everything (mainly TOYS!) and start over. Everyone needs a pick-me-up throughout the day. Or what I like to call a spirit booster.

One of my favorite spirit boosters is a good quote. Quotes can put you back into a positive mindset in a matter of seconds. They can make you feel not alone in the feelings you are experiencing. When I heard about the book Happiness Quotations: Gentle Reminders of Your Preciousness I was immediately drawn to it.

The book exceeded my expectations, and I had a hunch I would like it ;). The book became a treasured part of my daily routine. Every day, right before my 15 minutes of meditation in the afternoon, I would read one or two passages from Happiness Quotations. The passages were extremely moving and had the incredible ability to lift my spirits to a higher energy plane, which is a wonderful way to go into a few minutes of quiet time.

Happiness Quotations reminds you of just how precious and special you are. Something I don’t think we focus on enough. You are special and here for a reason. The more you are in touch with that, the more you have to give, and the more joy you receive from life. This book helps you to remember in a soft, gentle way.

I would highly recommend Happiness Quotations: Gentle Reminders of Your Preciousness by Erica M. Nelson. It has been a joyful part of my day. One that I truly cherish. Thank you for sharing your light Erica! The gentle reminders helped me to create a more beautiful day.

Dear Wendy, thank you so kindly for the review! I noticed that you loved all the music quotations...there is music in you and this is beautiful. I'm very much into this power one has to create expressly unique messages -- each of us has them to share -- so keep sharing Wendy!

This is the book that's worth buying. Inspirational books can be read anytime, at all times, as many times as you want. Compare to novels when you're finished reading you don't read it again. But books such as this - whenever you feel like reading, it helps motivate us in our day to day life. I will surely buy this.
