Many of us feel stress and get overwhelmed
not because we’re taking on too much,
but because we’re taking on too little
of what really strengthens us.

Remembering 9/11
“The reality is that you will grieve forever.
You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one;
you will learn to live with it.
You will heal and you will rebuild yourself
around the loss you have suffered.
You will be whole again but you will never be the same.
Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Quote of the day – Khalil Gibran
Book giveaway – Happy Guide
I’ve got a giveaway for you!
It’s a book called Happy Guide. It was written by a guy called Michael Kinnaird who suffered a living hell for 13 years and doesn’t want anyone else to go through what he did. The big message is that most problems are solved the same way: by putting the causes of health and happiness in place.
I’ve just finished reading it and I think it’s a wonderful read. It’s honest, easy to read, informative and a purrfect ‘Happy Guide.’ And I love all the quotes in this book.
To win one of three copies, please leave a comment below stating whether you’d like the eBook or paperback version. First three comments win!
Blessed Good Friday
God did not bear the cross only 1900 years ago,
but he bears it today,
and he dies and is resurrected from day to day.
It would be poor comfort to the world if it had to depend
upon a historical God who died 2000 years ago.
Do not then preach the God of history,
but show Him as He lives today through you.
– Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness is …
…a daily reminder of hope.

“When Good Friday comes, these are the moments in life when we feel there’s no hope. But then, Easter comes.”

“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
~ I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
~ I shall fear only God.
~ I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
~ I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
~ I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth,
~ I shall put up with all suffering.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
