It is a book that is good for thinking and then for making changes. 🙂 I really enjoyed it and was happy to share about it.

I love when a book gives us more quotes than we have room to share. This book did that. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful weekend, too, Mari-Anna!

“listen to my own vocabulary” – That’s a great exercise that I would benefit from as well. I heard on a podcast just today that if we look back at old journals and discover that we’re still complaining about the same things, we need to get a new perspective and use different words. 🙂

I liked those four essentials as well, Mary. The author really digs deep into each one of those levels and puts considerable time into explaining them. I appreciated that he didn’t just create a list and leave it there.

Yes, it’s super easy to stay in our own minds and not consider how others are perceiving a situation. We just assume they see it like we do, the right way! ha. I think the past two years in our country has brought a new level of wake-up calls that we don’t all see things alike. Reconciliation and repentance would come in handy for our country as well as for us personally.

It’s so hard not to say “be safe” every time. I still do it too often. I sometimes think I use it as a magic charm…as if I don’t say it, something bad will happen. That makes me NOT want to say it because I don’t want to believe in superstition but rather believe in the Lord. We’re complex beings. 🙂

I like that imagery too, Bethany. Glad it struck a chord with you as well.
