My Favorite so Far
5 out of 5 stars
This is a collection of poems and a few short stories. Richelle wrote a book of (original quotes and) poems for each of her sons. I think this might be my favorite collection of the 3 books.—J. Sweeney
A Worthwhile Read
5 OUT OF 5 STARS
I have always enjoyed simple, inspiring quotes because they have motivating power behind them. A few thoughtful words can pull us out of a slump, strengthen our resolve to try harder, soothe a bruised ego or bring peace to a mourning heart. This book is filled with such quotes, with something to ponder and appreciate daily for an entire year. It includes original thoughts, simple poetry, and a few inspiring short stories. It is a worthwhile read.

Enjoyable and Uplifting
5 OUT OF 5 STARS
This book includes many many quotes I found to be both enjoyable and uplifting. It is nice to start the day with a few inspiring words to read and think about. I really enjoyed the short stories as well. I honestly wish there were more stories included. The few in this book were fun to read.
