This morning, it’s raining outside. Fluffy gray clouds are
passing overhead unveiling patches of blue. Californians are always grateful
for rain, especially because of the recent fires. Me, I’ve never liked gloomy
gray. It’s my least favorite color and it’s sort of depressing. Usually however, the rain doesn’t last long, and rays of sunshine will soon be blasting down.
Today,
as luck would have it, I notice an Amazon package at my gate. I step over a few
puddles to retrieve it and am delighted at the timing! Inside the wet, brown
wrapper is a dear friend’s book, filled with instant sunshine!
Sunny Simon recently published a book called Life on the
Sunny Side—Inspirations for Busy Women. Though I had read an eBook version,
today I received the impressive paperback copy.
Oh, my goodness, this is not just some flimsy little booklet
with motivational adages. This book has serious inspirational information you
can begin using immediately. There are fabulous quotes throughout, from Yogi
Berra or Dale Carnegie, but don’t misunderstand, it’s not simply a volume of
platitudes and short little sayings. Every chapter is an example of why, and
how, we should remain sunny during the tough and gloomy times.
With an extensive background in career and life coaching,
Sunny tackles those unexpected challenges that take us for a loop. She takes
examples from friends, her husband, colleagues, party-goers, messages in
dreams and even her dog. It’s a mindful creation meant for busy people who might
need to slow down and focus on the present. It’s a book I’ll return to again
and again, because everything she writes is uplifting and sunny. Thanks, Sunny!
