Hooked on Positive
I just want to share this little book with everyone. Once in a while there is a book or event in your life that becomes a defining moment. Finding this little book was one of those moments for me.
I am not sure whether you can buy this book as it may be out of print now, although I noticed it was available through Abe Books as a second handedition.
If you arefamiliar with the famous Methodist minister Dr Norman Vincent Peale then you will know his book “The Power of Positive Thinking”. His wife Ruth Stamford Peale wrote only one book, it was titled “The Adventures of Being a Wife”.
I found the book in a local library about 34 years ago. It was at a time in my life when I was feeling overwhelmed at being a mother, wife, running a household and having full time job. The book saved my sanity and how I was feeling. Basically I learnt from it that anything is possible when you let go and stop thinking too much, when you let go and allow a power greater than yourself into your life in a mighty way.
I have passed this title on to many women when they are feeling fed up, over worked and under appreciated.
It works its magic every time. A real gem…a must read for every wife, mother, sister or your best girlfriend.
