My Review - 5
You may remember, in Feb/March I was struggling with reading and realized it was life over all and I was really overwhelmed without a plan. I joined a 100 day happiness project to boost the start and Start Over really made me 'check' myself.
For my review, I have decided to share amazing quotes Mary Jaksch used throughout the book to motivate the reader. It is a good work book, short but with a punch.

Sounds great; love the quotes! I know sometimes life knocks you down, but you have to get up and try, try again. I loved the Confucious quote the most, so true. Thanks for sharing the book.
ReplyDeleteGoing through some big changes here and this looks like it could help!
ReplyDeleteLove all the quotes, they will work in all walks of life when we need to be jump started. I like the quote by Ralph Waldo, about leaving a trail wherever we go...
ReplyDeleteI'm really bad at reading non-fiction. But want to read one this year anyway. Like the quotes.
