Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Life is random and often fueled by coffee... Real life inspired. Life isn't always sunshine, rainbows, puppies and smiles. Actually more often than not, it can be downright dirty, unjust and unfair. Life can deal blow after blow and isn't always satisfied with just knocking one down, sometimes it needs to kick you a few times to drive its point home. We try to not take it personally, but there are times when it seems to keep slapping you in the face saying; "Nope, no happy for you today, or tomorrow or maybe even next week." You look around and wonder, what did I do to bring this upon myself? When life is in turmoil and you are left wondering why? Random Thoughts n' Lotsa Coffee is not your traditional self-help book. It holds no secret keys to happiness nor does it have all the answers to life and its problems. What this book contains is a series of musings based on the life experience of a woman from Maine. A woman who has seen both the darkest of days and the brightest of moments this life has to offer and one day decided to write about them. Covering such topics as being our own worst enemy, facing our past, letting go, facing our fears and more, Random Thoughts n' Lotsa Coffee is written in such a no nonsense tone with straightforward and blunt advice. You will feel as if you sitting with her in a local coffee shop talking about your life. You will feel inspired. You will feel empowered. Random Thoughts n' Lotsa Coffee will help you dig deep inside yourself for the strength to handle all that life throws at you.
