Live Your Joy Lib/E

by Bonnie St. John

Joy is something that comes from the inside out. It feels like a flowing grace, a feeling of goodness all around, a sense of well-being through good and bad. It is love, gratitude, faith, and empowerment all wrapped together. Joy deepens our experiences. It opens us to seeing a more beautiful sunset, appreciating rather than fault finding, to believing in oneself.

Just love her message. So wonderfully written- it was a joy to share the narrative she wrote. Amazing. Humbled. Missed meeting her last year, and hope to hear her speak in person one day- she's a rock star - and this world is better because she's made her mark--- such a role model for females. In awe.

this book was upbeat and positive. Bonnie is a black skiing olympian who only has one leg. She was fun to listen to.

Bonnie St. John is an inspirational speaker, she is a bold and courageous woman who has endured much and wants to share her story of success that was achieved through her faith in God. You will agree with most of what she has to say only because you've heard it before, as a matter of fact she makes many direct quotes from other inspirational leaders. It's not the magnificent "pick-me-up" that it claims to be and you won't get an epiphany but it's a nice and easy read.

I was prompted to read this book after attending a lecture given by the author. I was impressed by her accomplishments and wanted to hear more about her journey. It is full of stories about Bonnie's life that are powerful. While I continue to be impressed by her, the book did not uncover any mystery for me about finding joy.
