A Must-Have Inspirational Book: Life Lessons: Everything You Ever Wished You Had Learned in Kindergarten by Donnalynn Civello

I don't usually buy self-help books. And I don't really read them either. But when I saw Jeannie Mai (from The Real) talk about one of these books on Instagram something drew me to it and I wanted to check the book out. 

My first thought was to see if my local library (or any other branches) had this book. Unfortunately, it was not available there. Neither was it available at another library system in NYC. This meant that if I wanted to read this book I had no choice but to buy it. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this book and hoped it wasn't expensive. I looked for it on Amazon and turned out it wasn't expensive at all. It was even on sale and had free shipping. So, I instantly got a copy and even later got a copy for my mom. 

The book that I got is called Life Lessons: Everything You Ever Wished You Had Learned in Kindergarten by Donnalynn Civello. It's a self-book that I believe is worth to have on hand. It's not the kind of book that you read, forget about, and never re-read again. It's a book that you return to time and time again. That's why I am glad it wasn't available at the library as now I have it in my home and can turn to it whenever I need to, whether it'd be to read a certain chapter or page, or to read it in its entirety.

Life Lessons: Everything You Ever Wished You Had Learned in Kindergarten is an eye-opening, educational, and inspirational book. It teaches us things about life, helping us understand why things happen the way they do. And it lets us know that we are not victims of our own lives. Everything that happens in our lives on a daily basis doesn't happen to punish us. It happens for a reason and it does to teach us something in life - whether it'd be one lesson or many lessons - and to help us improve and become better versions of ourselves. 

Life is full of ups and downs. When you learn how to deal with them in a more successful and positive way you will be able to adjust them to your own advantage that will benefit you rather than harm you and do it in a way that can prove to be effortless. 

Also, everything happens in its own time. And when it does that's when it was meant to happen. So, if something you want to materialize right now doesn't that doesn't mean it will never happen. It just means it's not time for it yet. It will come to fruition at a later time.

While reading Life Lessons: Everything You Ever Wished You Had Learned in Kindergarten, there were things in the book that I already knew and understood but there were things in there that I wasn't aware of. They were eye-opening to me and I will try put these things to use in my own life. Maybe coming across this book wasn't an accident. Perhaps it was meant to happen. And maybe it will help improve and change my life for the better. 

There are a lot of life lessons in Life Lessons: Everything You Ever Wished You Had Learned in Kindergarten and I think that everyone can benefit from this book in some way. Many questions you've wanted answers to will be answered. 

If you have not heard of this book my suggestion is to check it out. The book is affordable and you have nothing to lose by getting a copy. I think Amazon is the best place to get it. Click on the link below to look at the book and perhaps buy a copy.

Two New Books I Am Working On

There are two new books that I am working on at the moment. One is a book of poetry and lyrics that I finally finished writing for. Now I just have to proofread and edit the content, which is a time consuming process and not something I am in the mood for right now. But if I want this book out there soon I have to get myself into it. I had previously created a cover for the book and had a specific title in mind but I am not sure if I will be going with that or if I will come up with something entirely different. I will have to decide that as I go along. 

Another book I am working on is a book of limericks, which will be a first one for me. Unlike my other books this one will be smaller. It will feature four limericks per page. I already have some limericks written, which is good. And I have already written some new ones as well. There is still a lot more to write.

Though limericks are very short poems they are actually harder to write than other types of poetry because they have to be fun pieces, not serious, emotional and/or gut-wrenching ones that I prefer to write. But I like the challenge and writing them is fun. Not sure when I will finish writing everything. I have to be really inspired with these to write them. At least that is what it seems like so far. I hope I manage to do this by the end of the year but I am not in a rush. I am going to take my time with this one. I want the book to be a great one.  

Update on My New Poetry Book

So this new book of poetry and lyrics that I am working on was originally supposed to be titled Frozen in Time. And I had already created a front cover for it. But now I am thinking that I will go with a different title. I am just not sure what that title will be. Of course, I may end up changing my mind and, if I do, I already have something to work with. 

Though I have some previously written pieces already in the book, most of the new stuff is something I've written from the prompts that I post every week on my Facebook writing group Creative Writers Spotlight. I wanted to challenge myself, and so that is the reason I am doing it. So far, it has been going quite well on that front. I am enjoying the writing and find it pretty easy, for the most part, to bring these prompts to life in poetic form. 

It would be awesome to have this book out before the summer is over, but I definitely want it to be out there before the end of the year. I don't have a whole lot more left to write as I want to keep this book under 130 pages. So, it shouldn't be a problem to finish everything by the end of summer. I just have to be consistent and keep on working on it on a regular basis.
