Half Full: Meditations on Hope, Optimism and the Things That Matter

What a place the world will be when we all look at our life experience as being half full! I gave this book to my children and my husband for Christmas and since have ordered it in quantities for my Gift Cupboard. The messages are pertinent, but not preachy. Significant, but not heavy. Uplifting, but not schmaltzy. This little book makes a perfect gift for friends, teachers, clients, co-workers and family.....it will speak to anyone looking for a positive lift.

I received this beautiful book as a Christmas gift from the woman who sits next to me in our department. It was so on-target with who I am and what I'm dedicated to achieve in my life...I felt she was Divinely inspired to purchase it for me. The tidbits are thought-provoking and inspiring. I'm sharing it today in a class I'm teaching on "Live Your Best 2008!"

HALF FULL is more than just another book of admonitions: it offers up a series of 42 photos of everyday objects which incorporate elements of the extraordinary, inviting readers to take the time to look and make these discoveries. Images accompany essays, meditations and sidebar quotes from such luminaries as Helen Keller, George Bernard Shaw, and Emily Dickinson, and offer a lovely gift book for any who would impart a sense of wonder to others.
