Love Is Letting Go of Fear

Book Description

An inspirational classic since 1979, LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR remains one of the seminal works in the transpersonal movement. Psychiatrist Dr. Gerald Jampolsky's timeless message may be timelier today than ever: the only thing that stands between us and the awesome energy of love is fear. To live without fear, we must stop analyzing it, stop agonizing over it, stop fighting with it, and simply . . . let it go. How? By releasing our paralyzing preoccupation with the past and our chronic apprehension over the future—which is, needless to say, easier said than done.

To help us in this difficult journey from fear to love, Dr. Jampolsky presents tools in the form of 12 daily, progressive lessons for personal transformation. These crucial lessons work through the concepts of giving, forgiveness, cause and effect, perspective, reactive behavior, victimhood, judgement, living in the present, releasing the past, visualization, freedom to choose, and taking responsibility. In the 25 years since it was first published, LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR continues to change lives with its frank, thought-provoking, and powerful response to overcoming life's greatest challenges.

Love is letting go of Fear.......2007-05-18

I think this is a great book. I'm a little better person every time I read it.

This Book Changed My Life.......2007-05-02

I was extremely depressed and about to lose a good relationship when I encountered this book. I read it, studied it, and saved my relationship. Now, my wife and I have been married 4 years strong and have an 18-month old son!

Go for it.

Obvious why this book has long tail!.......2007-04-26

Or I suppose the more old-fashioned way to put it is "staying power." The concept is so simple. Fear and love cannot coexist. Want to be happy? Experience love? Let go of the fear. This book is a great reminder about what we fear -- the sneaky ways we are fearful and might not even recognize it as fear -- and then shows us to let go of it. Terrific book in its forthright simplicity and directness in dealing with very deep concepts.

love is letting go of fear.......2007-03-15

Dr. Jampolsky, as do so many others, seem to believe love is an emotion. I think it is a choice, which lends itself to many emotions. Dr. Jampolsky if love is an emotions is it a matter of choice or something that you simply feel?

learn to create miracles with ease.......2007-01-28

Jerry Jampolsky wrote this litte action book thirty years ago, based in A Course In Miracles. He was able to put into action a practical handbook to enable a person to get into another reality by letting go of fear. There are daily affirmations, which when used actually impact on the user and allow them to understand how they can choose to repond to life and the challengers. A Course In Miracles took the world by storm, and is lengthy program which involves three volumes of student, teacher, and workbook. Love is Letting Go Of Fear is a short cut that is just as powerful today as it was when it was first published.

I Wanna Know Jack!!!.......2007-06-30

Erin McCarthy does it again with this awesome book. I've read 'The Pregnancy Test' and was hoping the next book would be about Jamie. I'm glad that my wish came true.

Jamie Peters is a sweet Social Worker with a heart of gold. She's extremely loyal to her friends,believes in love and helping those in need. The only problem seems to be that she wastes her time on men that need her then throw her away.

Jack Davidson is a retired millionaire @ 33 and trying to find a new direction in life...who knew that direction would lead him straight to Jamie.

The two meet and believe that fate brought them together...there's just one problem: Jack lies to Jamie in a major way.

I love how Jack makes Jamie see that fate and love are worth fighting for. Jack truly loves Jamie,so much so that he even decides he wants to throw away the fortune he worked so hard to create.

This is a funny,sweet story and I can't wait to read the next one. The secondary characters are wonderfully written and made me smile everytime they appeared. Ms. McCarthy is a brilliant,witty writer and as long as she keeps writing great novels,I'll keep reading them. Bravo!

Why so many stars?.......2007-04-09

I was looking forward to reading this book due to the many positive reviews, but I have to say how disappointing it was! The plot was thin, the character development wasn't too strong, and the sex scenes didn't seem too sexy to me. The one positive thing I can say is that it was a very quick read . . . definitely not a memorable book, or anything I would recommend to my friends.

Pages and pages of just sex. .......2007-03-16

This was my first book by Erin McCarthy. I don't know if her other books are like this, but about half of it was just really explicit sex scenes. I'm not a prude, but a little more story development might have been nice. So this book is for you if you're looking for soft porn, without the romance.

Entertaining & Steamy.......2007-03-13

I loved this book. Erin McCarthy keeps the story moving, creates likable characters that you can easily relate to, and writes love scenes that will fog up your glasses, at the very least.

You'll love main characters, Jamie Peters and Jonathan "Jack" Davidson, and the remaining cast of quirky characters including an ex-con transvestite who foretells the future, a codgy old man, a teen-age misfit, and a homeless man that seems to be stalking her.

I could hardly put this book down.

Great book ... Wonderful, playful read.......2007-02-28

I bought this book as this was my 3rd book I've read from this author. my daughter brought home a while ago "The Pregnancy Test" & "Mouth to Mouth".

I did enjoy this book very much, I loved all the people in this book, Jamie was a cute one and Jack was quite irressitable.

I think my only complaint with this book, as to why I gave it 4 stars was cause the ending did not do it for me. The whole book happens within a 2 week period (or about), all leading to Caroline's Wedding. But then the wedding comes and the last 2 chapters or so happen over the period of like a day!

To me the ending seem rushed, like the Author needed to end it so she just threw together all the untight lose ends and wrapped it all together. It was not the ending I was hoping for - well it was - but not put in a few words and end it.

But all in all this book was wonderful and I had a great time reading it and so did my daughter :)

What a good idea all these Chicken Soup for the Soul books are! Instead of reading one book and hunting around for the most touching or uplifting passage, the Soup brigade of editors and writers scours the published world for brief excerpts, arranges them by category, and sells them by the kabillion.

The spoon-size stories in Chicken Soup for the Couple's Soul hit the spot and warm the heart. Take the case of Dame Margot Fonteyn, the legendary dancer. She fell madly for Latin lover Roberto Arias at 18 in 1937, but history flung them apart. He recourted her 14 years later, after he'd become Panama's ambassador to the UN. Five assassin's bullets crippled him, but not their romance: he watched from the wings in a stretcher as she took 43 curtain calls in Romeo and Juliet. "I feel it's rather a fair division," she said of their love. "He thinks. I move. You see, I love him." Another love-triumphing-over-paralysis chapter reprints the most stunning passage of Christopher Reeve's Still Me.

The cartoons aren't great, but many of the celebrity quotes in the book are, like this one from Ursula K. Le Guin: "Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new." But one correction: the line "There is only one serious question ... how to make love stay" is from Tom Robbins, not "Tim Robbins." --Tim Appelo

Book Description

Warm and Lovely Book.......2006-11-30

This book was so good, I almost read it all in a day. I love true love stories. My two favorite stories were the ones about the apples and about the pay phone. It was really nice to read all these love stories.

Not What I was Hoping For.......2006-11-05

My wife and I had a cross country trip planned (driving from Virginia back to Utah) and we wanted to get some stuff to listen to that would be inspiring and help bolster our marriage of 18 years. We haven't had much alone time with four kids. Well, this one sounded good so we bought it. The stories are okay, but most of them seemed to deal with death and losing a loved one. Didn't do us much good at all.

Heartwarming........2006-08-02

The Chicken Soup series of books have certainly left an indelible mark on society and CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE COUPLE'S SOUL is no exception. There is a lot to like about all of these books. Usually presented in 2 - 3 page vignettes that make for easy reading and a variety of plots reach varied interests.

This particular volume tells of adventures of finding the love of a life. There are chapters here on finding each other, intimacy, commitment and much more. This is a treasure couples should enjoy together.

Just what I needed.......2006-06-10

I'm a huge fan of the chicken soup series, and this book did not disappoint me.
For a married woman who was in a bit of a rut, it reminded me of just what it means to be in love with someone.
Almost all the stories touched my heart and I even had the courage to share some of them with my husband. It's nice to sit down and read about couples who have had ups and downs and have still managed to survive it all. If you are 1/2 of a couple then I would suggest this book in a heartbeat.

OK, but displeased with customer service.......2005-10-12

I thought I was getting a like-new book, but the dust jacket is worn more than I would expect. I asked the seller for a small compensation due to their misrepresentation, but I never heard back from them.
Be careful with this seller.

Daughters mature from perfect little angels into rebellious teens to accomplished women who are dad's pride and joy.

The stories in this special volume are sure to evoke the fondest of memories and rekindle the bond between dads and their little girls. Key Features Chapters include: On Love, Substitute Dad, Forever Daddy's Little Girl, Healing Moments, Letting Go, A Matter of Perspective.

Good for inspiration on building a business.......2006-10-17

We're all familiar with the Chicken Soup series so no need to talk about layout and all ... this book has some good, inspiring stories of real entreprenuers, many you'll know telling how they got where they are. I use it for inspiration, read one a night and keep youre head on straight. Short review but good book, not a lot to say further.

What are you waiting for?.......2006-03-27

Like a lot of people, men in particular, I've seen this "Chicken Soup" series of books for years now, but had never read one. That is, until my daughter gave me a copy of CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE FATHER AND DAUGHTER SOUL, as a gift recently. I have to admit, it isn't just filled with mushy stories like I expected, but rather is a collection of various circumstances revolving around the special relationship between a man and his daughter.

These are real stories, written by real people, about real events that are similar to what all father/ daughter relationships go through. This particular volume is broken into 9 different chapters, each covering different components of life's happenings, and each with about a dozen or so stories somehow related to the subject matter of that chapter.

The book is also sprinkled with a handful of cartoon joke pages. The book concludes with a one page bio on each of the five authors and a single paragraph bio on each contributor. This book will make you laugh. It will make you cru. Mostly, it will preserve and strengthen the special blessing in life that is like no other, .... The relationship of father and his princess.

...precious memories, sweetest moments..........2005-06-13

What is the understood miracle about the relationship of a daddy with his daughter or a daughter with her daddy? Jack Canfield shares many precious memories and sweetest moments with these heartwarming recollections that allude to the beautiful mystery of the daddy/daughter connection. From one story to the next, the daddy/daughter heart and soul exudes deepest love so graciously and gratefully. Whether through laughter or tears, the emotions felt from reading these stories brought forth many of my own forgotten memories. WOW!!!Thanks to Jack and Mark for sharing this fantastic collection that, once again, focuses on the best 'stuff' in Life.

Simply marvelous stories to captivate the soul........2005-05-04

Kudos to Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Nancy Autio, Patty Aubery and LeAnn Thieman for compiling the wonderful stories in Chicken Soup for the Father/Daughter Soul. My story, Hidden Wings is included in the book and I am proud to be a part of the Chicken Soup series. Thanks to all of you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful episode. All the stories will leave you breathless, yearning for childlike thoughts of the past embracing you with tenderness and love.

Sometimes the best way to get through hard times is finding out you're not alone. The books in the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul series have provided just that reassurance to millions of teens in the few years since the first was published. Much like the earlier volumes, the third in the series features stories, poems, and cartoons, most of which were written by teens themselves. Twenty teen reviewers read every submission, narrowing the selection down to 5,000 favorites. Editors Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Kimberly Kirberger made the final cuts. The result? Packed with compassion, heartache, love, experience, and wisdom, Teen III (as the editors refer to it) is every bit as inspirational as the earlier editions.

Most of the stories are contributed by young, unpublished writers, and the quality of the writing is good, if a touch melodramatic at times. But then, adolescence is nothing if not melodramatic, and the audience undoubtedly will relate perfectly to the tales of betrayal, friendship, identity crisis, parental clashes, and painful crushes. The editors have organized this collection into nine categories: Relationships, Friendship, The Power of Love, Family, Lessons, Tough Stuff, Overcoming Obstacles, Self-Discovery, and Growing Up. A great source for laughs, advice, compassion, and the comfort of knowing that we're never as alone as we think. (Ages 13 and older) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

This book, like the first two volumes in the series, will help them, and will serve as their guide and constant companion. The original Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, a New York Times bestseller, has sold over 4.5 million copies. Its successor, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II, a #1 New York Times bestseller, has already sold over 2.2 million copies.

It is also the perfect gift for all adults to give to the teens in their lives.

Rhymes with witches.......2007-03-01

This book is really good. I like it because i can relate to it. I can relate because it is full of drama, and issues that i have dealt with. I also think that she is a really good author. I would recomend this book to a lot of people.

Crazy For Chicken Soup.......2006-10-25

From bike crashes, to growing up, to inspirational stories; this book has it all. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Three will bring a tear to your eye and put a smile on your face. It was organized by three adults. Kimberly Kirberger, Mark Hansen, and Jack Canfield. But the book itself was written purely by teens.
This edition of Chicken Soup is not the first. There are many others, including one for pet lovers! This book will really make you want to get up and do something. When reading these stories, I felt inspired to change something that I thought was wrong. I especially enjoyed that you don't have to read the book in order. You can pick the story that fits your mood, and from the first sentence you're captured. These stories are all non-fiction. Some are funny and some are sad, but each is special. If there's one you don't like, skip it!
One of the stories that I enjoyed was called "Some Things Are Never the Same." It's about two friends who are growing apart because of cliques. The popular friend falls into a trap. Her new "so called friends" make up rumors about her old friend. In the end, although the girl realizes her mistake, the friendship isn't the same. I can really relate to this because dealing with friendships can be hard.
The teens who submit to this book really have a story to tell. I think it's cool that they're true stories, because you can imagine being in their shoes. I really loved the book because it kept me reading for hours. The book also contains stories from famous actors, athletes, and singers. There is even a passage from The Diary of Anne Frank! Whenever I need a boost, I reach for the book and read the stories again.

Inspired.......2006-05-03

The book Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Three really inspired me in many different ways. When I started reading this book I couldnt put it down for a second without wanting to pick it up again. This book has ben very helpful and useful to me. The book talks about real problems and stories that teens have sent to the publishers and published in their book. It's nice to have us young people writing stories and having them published for others to read them and be inspired. When ever you get the chance you should read this book so you can see what's so great and inspiring about his book.

greatest book ever!!.......2005-11-02

This book was totally awesome and I advise people to read it. It was one of the best books I have ever read and it gave me alot of advice through the very interesting stories they provided. This book was my favorite out of the "chicken noodle soup for the teenage soul" series. I really enjoyed reading it, for me it was one of those books that are so good you can't put it down. I really recommend this book if you like real life situations where you can really seem to realate to at least some of the stories. It feels like you have been in these sort of situations before and the stories kind of put you in the other person's shoes. This book made me feel sorry or happy for the main people in these stories and they made me think about my life and if I am hurting people or I made them feel the way some of the characters do. Long story short I really loved this book it had romance, tragedy, horror, suspense, and well... you get the idea, but it made me love it and I am sure if you read it you will feel the same as I did about this book.

worth it for finger paints and crayons.......2005-08-16

This book overall was not as good as the first two but it's worth it for the piece called "Finger Paints and Crayons" a beautifull written poem about how sad it is to live in a world with racism. That one touched me the most, I haven't read the book in years but that poem is one of the things I remember about it.

Book Description

Our connection to the horse is ancient and visceral. These humble creatures are mentioned in the earliest samplings of the written word, which illustrates how the human/equine bond transcends cultural and economic barriers. The horse's integral role in man's evolution, society's development and the growth of civilizations is unquestioned; they have been immortalized by Hollywood, cherished by little girls and mourned by warriors. Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover's Soul is filled with inspiring stories of rescue and rehabilitation, heartbreaking losses, dedication and commitment, and positive messages of responsibility and unconditional love. Readers will enjoy uplifting and humorous stories that depict the horse's intelligence, versatility and intuitiveness; they will discover the horse's healing powers, marvel at the graceful performance of a Grand Prix Dressage winner, be awed by the stamina and strength of a working horse and the athletic prowess of a champion racer. In exchange for our love and companionship, horses teach us, heal us, protect us and guide us. Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover's Soul is a worthy celebration of a very noble creature.

Definately for horse lovers!.......2007-10-17

As a first time horse owner (I inhereited three in one day at the age of 24) I am constantly looking for ways to expand my knowledge of horses and all things equine-related. This book was not only inspirational, but got me familiar with terms I hadn't used in my every day language until I got my horses. This book made me laugh, sniffle, and nod my head in relation to some of the stories. This is a good book for first time horse owners and not-so-new horse owners.

A Horse to Ride to Your Soul.......2006-12-07

This much needed book offers readers an opportunity to feel better connected to their souls and the primal call within to connect to the beauty, strength, freedom and gentleness of not only horses but the Animal Kingdom in general. If you like or love horses, another book is also inspiring: ON THE TRAIL OF THE PONY EXPRESS by Cherokee author Jerry Ellis. He retraced the 2,000 mile route of the Pony Express Trail by horse, foot, covered wagon and canoe. The non-fiction adventure book is filled with the history and spirit of the Pony Express riders who became part of the great American West.

Good Book.......2006-11-30

I like horses, but I had a hard time getting into this book. Some of the stories were better than others. I think two of my favorite stories were the one about the Horse at Harvard and the one about the horses surrounding and protecting the baby. Most of the stories were good. This is a book about true horse stories.

Most Heartwarming Book.......2006-11-10

Another Great Chicken Soup!.......2007-03-09

I love the Chicken Soup series and this book didn't disappoint! I bought 5 of them for Christmas. Four to give as gifts and one for myself. All of my friends loved it too. Would definitley recommend!

My emotional Rollercoaster.......2006-05-22

The stories in Chicken Soup for the Girlfriends Soul took me on a very high and low emotional rollercoaster. The stories made me smile and some made me sad. I didn't particullarily like this book because I think that it was directed to an older audience. I am 15 years old, and some of the stories were about life-long friendships. I couldn't seem to relate to many of the stories. Overall, this book wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't the worst book I have ever read.

I laughed, I cried.......2005-08-02

As with all the Chicken Soup books, I was able to relate to a lot of the stories and I really enjoyed reading the book. I'm giving it to my best friend who is leaving for college and I think she will really enjoy it also.

Book Description

Your personal portable support group - Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul - underscores the tenacity of the human spirit. Find inspiration for change and personal growth in each story within its pages as people in this dynamic community share their experiences of transformation, of lives reclaimed, of relationships renewed and futures full of promise. Today, the recovering lifestyle has been embraced and celebrated by millions. The silence which once enveloped dysfunctional families or victims of trauma has been broken, and the shame felt by those suffering with behavioral disorders or depression has turned into a sense of accomplishment and pride. More than 700,000 Americans receive treatment for alcoholism or substance abuse on any given day in over 11,000 addiction treatment programs offering residential, outpatient and hospital inpatient options. Support groups meet daily in every corner of the world and the Internet hums with recovering chat rooms and bulletin boards. The traditional 12 Step model of Alcoholic's Anonymous has been joined by programs offering more secular approaches to recovery, while others support faith-based models. Diversity and inclusion in treatment have become the hallmark of recovery today. Whether you are just embracing a commitment to recovery, or have already experienced deep healing, hope and renewed love in recovery, Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul will be a source of inspiration and renewal every step of the way. Remember, you are not alone.

Great Recovery Companion.......2006-05-17

This book inspires and encourages continued recovery. Highly recommended for those directly and indirectly involved with recovery.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!.......2005-02-22

Dear K, I love the book and I'm so glad you were published in it because otherwise I might not have read it. After 18 years of sobriety, I'm still inspired by an individual's story of addiction, the necessary desperation that leads to the first step, and their journey to recovery. Although it's the kind of book I might reread, when I'm finished I'll probably pass it on to someone that I think needs to read it and hope it keeps getting passed along until it's worn out. This book won't go out of style. PAP

Very encouraging book.......2005-02-09

I think you can't go wrong with this book. The stories are encouraging and uplifting which is what someone in recovery needs, in my opinion. I've even highlighted pages so that I can go back and re-read what really spoke to me. I'd recommend buying this book in heartbeat.

You can't go wrong........2004-12-15

What a wonderful collection of inspiring pieces from a broad section of the recovering community. Each story offers a glimpse at the challenges faced and how individuals reclaimed what was rightfully theirs - health, happiness and hope. I'd recommend it for anyone entering recovery as well as those who are already living a recovering lifestyle.

Disappointed.......2004-12-14

The Chicken Soup books have been a good read in the past. This one seemed to be the perfect Christmas gift for friends in recovery, so I purchased three copies (there were no reviews to assist my decision.) After reading some of the book, I quickly became disappointed. The stories seem to lack substance or the inspiration experienced in other Chicken Soup books. The stories described difficult events, but no insight as to how the individuals came to find peace and serenity. Basically it was, "I had this situation, and now I don't." In the future, I will wait until there are reviews to guide my purchases.

Friends. You gotta have 'em, but sometimes they drive you crazy. You love 'em, but sometimes they make you mad. They'll help you through a crisis...unless they are the crisis. So What's The Deal? Friends are more than just the people you hang out with. They make you laugh, they keep your secrets, they offer advice (some good, some bad), they give you a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes they move away, or betray your trust, or flake out, but mostly they are the people who are always there for you. And they know you'll be there when they need you most. Because that's what it means to be a friend. Sometimes friendship is overwhelming, sometimes it's confusing, sometimes you feel like you don't have a friend in the world, buy don't worry, it's like that for everyone. That's what the stories in this book are all about. They're from real teens, and they're about the bizarre, difficult and wonderful things that really happened to them and their friends. Put that together with weird facts, cool graphics, fun advice and quizzes designed to help you figure what you and your friends are all about, and you've got the real deal on friendship

Good Book For Teens.......2007-07-27

I buy these for my teenange daughter, these are the only books I can get her to sit down & read & discuss.

Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul on Love and Friendship.......2007-03-15

This Book Chicken Soup was about teens finding their way around life. Teens finding love and breaking up and getting back together. Finding their out who their true friends are. Finding out the true the meaning of love. Finding out who they can lean on when they are down. This book had different stories about love and friendship. This book took places everywhere even though it had amny different stories in it. It took places on a soccer field, at school, at home. It took places in so many places that it really doesn't have a setting. The plot was different things. Like you realize that you was in love with your bestfriend's boyfiend and you didn't want her to know that cause you didn't want ya'll friendship to end all because of a boy she went with and because you was in love with him. The conflict was that a lot people got hurt in this book because of the word love. Some people got cheated on and heartbroken and dumped because of this word love. If you don't mean it then don't say it cause alot of people can get hurt because of that word. Some people founded out who their real friends were. Some people left their friends over a guy/girl and left them hanging. Then they started to realize who their real friends were. The resolution was that the people who did wrong they realized what they did was wrong and asked the friends that they once had to forgive them some of them forgave them and some of them said no cause you might hurt me again.

Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul On Love and Friendship.......2007-03-09

In this book I read it was about love and friendship and growing up and going through tough times with your family or friends and boyfriends. There really wasn't much of a setting. It took place everywhere outside on the beach. Outside at the school soccer field. The polt was a little bit of everything kids growing up, and beening in love. Kids having hard times with their friends, and family members. Coming to someone when they needed it help doing something. Or if they needed help period. There wasn't really much of events that happened well yes it was. Teenages being in love, breaking up with that special person that they loved. Going through things you really wouldn't imaging if you experinced it yourself. The resolution was that is life being a teenager you live life and you deal with it cause that is the way life goes. Life goes on and on so you deal with it the best way you possible can.

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Love and Friendship.......2007-02-05

This was a great book! I really enjoyed it a lot! It had lot's of diffrent topics some about break ups, romance, friendship, gaining, and losing friendship! i enjoyed them all. But it did just talk a little too much about friendship, i think next time they should include a little more on other subjects. Although i enjoyed this book very much! and hope to read more of these!

Amanda's Review of Chicken Soup for the Teen's Soul on Love & Friendship.......2006-05-22

I like the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and I liked this one in particular because it was written for teens. It was, I believe, the first one I read for teens, and I enjoyed reading very much what other teens had to say. On the other hand, though, many of the stories are similar, so after I had read a few, they got a little bit reptitious. Overall, though, it was a good book.

Book Description

An inspiration for mom's everywhere! "These stories made my heart smile." -Catherine Oxenberg, actress It will change your life forever. Although you undoubtedly heard those six words many times after announcing that you were expecting, you couldn't have imagined what they really meant. And then the moment came. You held your baby in your arms and felt an outpouring of emotion like you had never known before. And just like they said, nothing was ever the same. Motherhood is a lifelong journey that's as unique as every woman who embarks on it. No other role defines us as deeply and fills us with as much compassion, or tests our strength and patience more extremely! No other relationship fills our hearts with as much love, wonder and awe for another human being. Although motherhood is a timeless calling, today's moms have unique challenges and rewards. In this book you'll learn from other mothers and seasoned grandmothers who share the universal worries, the tears and the laughs that come with the job, as well as the wisdom to help you be the very best mom you can be. These stories are for every mom, whether you're an expectant or an adoptive mom, a stay-at-home or working mom, or a grandmother watching your grandchildren grow. Share this book with any mom to remind her of the profound role she will forever play in her child's life.
