A New Year to be a New You

Happy New Year!

How's the resolution list going? Hopefully, you're feeling encouraged. If not, I have a book you may want to read.

Two more of my stories have been included in another Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and this book, which is released today, is a fun one.

It's all about 101 big and small ideas for a better you. Need a little push to get moving? How about some motivation to eat better

I read this when it came out years ago and a friend of mine reminded me of it just recently, so I read it again! Just like before, my thoughts are this: it’s relatable, doable, and written so anyone can understand it. Plus, it works.

Good. But not my fave in the series. Too much Taylor Swift (again), footnotes drove me crazy, and the book was a good 50 pages longer than it needed to be. Great snarky writing, but sigh… too drawn out. Dare I say it? I was a bit bored.
