Better Because...of This Book

Lately I haven't been able to do much reading because of travel and work, but the past week I had to remind myself that I'm not in a race! I left the rat race five years ago and I don't want to go back!  When I start to get to that point where I'm not breathing and I'm not having fun, I curl up with a book and just relax. Thank goodness I always have a book around that fills me up with good vibes and reminds me why I'm here.

One book on the Good Vibes list is "Better Because of You" by Ginny Hutchinson and Cathy Haffner. It's one of those books that you can throw into a purse or the glove compartment, and when you're having one of "those days" or are stuck in LA traffic (which I was this past month), you can whip out this book and get an instant pick-me-up. Not only do the authors share their wisdom in this inspiring book, it has fun visuals - very appealing to someone who loves to see color in books.

The book is broken up into three main parts:  3 Core Beliefs, 7 Facets of Life, and Words to Live By.  

The 7 Facets of Life offer inspiring insights of people who are living each of these facets which include health, wealth, wisdom, work, play, others, and service.  The authors offer simple exercise that you can do to inject more positive feelings and thoughts into your life.

I love the Words to Live By section with all kinds of different quotes on just about any topic. 

I like this quote:

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardners who make our souls blossom."

I am grateful for Ginny Hutchinson and Cathy Haffner who put this book together.
