Shankle takes on the lessons of life with hilarious anecdotes peppered with 80s references - remember Gunne Sax and jelly shoes, Swatch and home perms? Each chapter has a theme and focus with a "brighter side" take-away that is typically the good kind of common sense advice you hear from your most trusted friend. For example, in her chapter on Comparison and Competition, she notes that these things "cease to be healthy when they do nothing but make you feel like what you have isn't enough." There are some biblical examples in each chapter too and most were a good fit for the point Shankle was trying to drive home. Her own personal examples of being a wife, mother, community member, and working woman ring more true in her authenticity and willingness to look less-than-perfect. Mostly her goal is to restore some joy and kindness to our daily lives and our interactions with each other and this hits the mark. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Big Mama blog founder and New York Times bestselling author Melanie Shankle helps us sort through our questions about being true to ourselves in a world gone crazy and what matters the most in the end. These days, so many voices tell us what to do, what to think, and what kind of parent or friend or spouse to be that it's easy to feel overwhelmed and defeated. Somewhere in the midst of online arguments and crazy politics and the ups and downs of life, we've lost sight of the gifts that are all around us: kindness, love, mercy, and joy. In On the Bright Side, Melanie Shankle reminds us of the unchanging principles we can count on in a changing world. These are lessons that Melanie has learned along the way about how to find all the joy that life has to offerâ??and why encouragement is never something to keep to ourselves.

On the Bright Side is a how-to guide to knowingâ??and livingâ??what matters m Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
