's review

it was ok
bookshelves: self-help, chick-lit

I have started this book three times and never made it past March. I don't know if it's because I get distracted or if it's because Sarah Ban Breathnach is always talking about her family and the kids and all of the responsibilities of a mom and wife -- and I can't relate. Or maybe I just get bored. I have learned some important tips that I've found helpful (my fav is what I call my "happy drawer") where I keep stuff that makes me happy so it's there when I need it. Maybe I'm just stubborn -- those glowing five star reviews should tell you that I am the exception and not the norm with this one.

Carol If you ever decide to try it again, just start in the middle someplace. You've already gotten the overview. Or find some other book more to your taste. Just a thought.

Kirby I also started this book several times and never got much further than you did on any of my attempts. I eventually abandoned this book and - as an atheist myself - found it preachy and too focused on religion/spirituality.

Blue I am a mom and a wife and can totally not relate either so...
