Motivational, Parenting & Families 

Barbara Johnson's approach to life is positive, uplifting, therapeutic and fun. Barbara Johnson is far from being a cock-eyed optimist_blind to life's grief and disappointment. In fact, her entire ministry of joy and encouragement began in the "slimy cesspool" of her own pain. She is a clear-eyed optimist. And that's why her laughter is so infectious and her widom rings so true in this joy-giving book, which offers giggles and guidance to help you:

shore up a sinking self-esteem
reach the other side of your grief
weather your stress and get rid of your guilt
restore the joys of motherhood
repair broken relationships with your children
learn to live with your illness
cultivate your patience_even when you just don't think you can wait
sustain an effective prayer life
make peace with aging_and go for healthy maturity
"Almost everyone needs a splash of joy to get through the mess, to get cleaned off and get sweetened up_refreshed and ready to go again," Barbara Johnson says. - from Amzon
