Over the years I’ve read many books that have helped me gain a certain composure to my life. This year, I’m rereading one of those books: “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy,” I call it the pink book.

My mother first introduced me to this book, several years ago. Since that time I’ve read it a few times and have highlighted my favorite passages, but it’s time for a renewed look. There is so much good content in this book that I’ve put it by my bedside table to pick up and read throughout the year.

It’s a great read, a must read if you are overwhelmed in your life. The author, Sarah Ban Breathnach, takes you through short passages each day, quoting famous people, then relating it to daily living. She stresses how to step back and enjoy the simplicities of life.

Today carve out a quiet interlude in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change. What are your hopes for the future as you reflect on the years that have passed?

Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself.”
