Epiphany?


Wow, 2 blog posts in 1 day? Within minutes of each other? I must be off my rocker...

I have this app on my phone with thousands of quotes. I love it. I try to take something from it every day. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in other things, I forget. But not today.

I was just skimming through all the quotes and it made me think of my most favorite book ever. Before I tell you the title, let me just tell you, if you read it, it will change your life. Even if it only changes your life for a minute, I promise you, it will! There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe how marvelous this book is. It has this incredible ability to make your perspective do a complete 180.

I am a very glass half empty kind of girl. I complain a lot. I always think things could be better. But every so often, I am reminded of this book and its message and I take a step back and say "whoa, D, do you really have it that bad?" Sometimes I think the answer is yes, and sometimes it really is. Like when my grandma died. Where is the bright side of that you optimistic pricks?! PS- Yes, I call myself D, as do many people.

So here it is, the greatest book ever written, in my humble opinion. Please read it. You won't regret it. But more importantly, take something from it. The people in your life will be thankful that you did.




If you don't have time to read the book, you can watch the actual lecture here. Grab the tissues!
