so-soI‘m often leery of the “you can do/win/gain/feel [insert something positive], if you read this book” genre. But as we approach a New Year, and all the resolution-making that entails, I‘d say there are some good nuggets of wisdom in here. One favorite nugget: the next time you say to yourself “I HAVE to do so-and-so,” instead, tell yourself “I GET to do so-and-so.” Mini game changer!
pickI kept putting off this book because it was chonky looking and I didn't want chonky. It's actually very accessible and quick to read. There's lots of white space, big text, and different formatting.
I was recommended this book because I was looking for practical tips and guidance. This book offers that but more importantly it includes the why, which is something a lot of books miss out.

This book makes a great read when you‘re trying to get your worries under control. I am a born worrier who tends to snowball drastically through catastrophizing things.
It mixes humour with practical advice beautifully. It makes managing anxiety feel a little less intimidating. I still have days where I snowball but hopefully slowly but surely I‘ll get better at calming the F**k down 🤍
How do you manage your anxiety?
I colored this picture and wrote this about it.

pickThis was helpful, a bit eye opening and a lot of common sense that you know, but flies under the radar until it reveals itself so plainly to you. Aka, good and necessary to hear. My particular favorites included the assessments and learning about the four parenting types - emotional, passive, rejecting and driven. Helped me understand not only my own parents but also as a parent myself. Nice one to listen to on audio!
pickThis engaging new audiobook is such a beautiful tribute to the beloved author & affirmations queen Louise Hay.🫶🏻Louise‘s wisdom (& Cheryl‘s!) truly changed my life over the years and this new edition really helped me put a more positive spin on things. (And we sure need a lift these days!) It‘s like having a lovely personal conversation with two wise women about how simply changing a few thoughts can turn chaotic days into a blessing! 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻
Well, of course, I am indecisive, plus perfectionistic, so had to change it up. Had to be honest with myself about what I really wanted to read.

Wowzers yowzers, y‘all.
Every bit of anxious and excited anticipation while waiting for this book to become available at my library was totally warranted.
I had a feeling it would be a game changer and I was right.
The truths within it are revolutionary, I can see it easily becoming a banned or challenged book quickly because of the truth found within these pages.
10/10 highly recommend.
I want to buy it for everyone I know!
This paragraph made me LOL because this book covers the heavy topic of grief, but now as it comes to a close, I know that if I ever get the privilege & honor of meeting Jayne one day, I‘d immediately tell her I am on #TeamCeline too, all hail #QueenCeline and that Jayne‘s love of her is not “just her”.
I was a diehard Celine fan from like age 8 when Titanic hit the big screens to about 16-17 years old. She was literally all I listened to.
