This I believe!
My connections with women in South Africa have come to amaze me… so many from unexpected sources. The most recent was an email via LinkedIn from Lehla Eldridge offering to send me a copy of her book… The Lovely Book for Wonderful Women – sounded “lovely” to me so I gave her my address.
Imagine my surprise when I received a small package in the mail covered with lovely, colorful stamps from South Africa. Up until that point, I had not realized that Lehla was there. I’ve actually applied to work with more than one organization in SA and would love to relocate there… but I digress.
The book inside may have been small in size but its impact was tremendous – so colorful both in its whimsical illustrations and heart-warming messages! It made my heart sing at a time when it needed it the most.
In this time of economic and other stress – we all need to take a bit of time out of our to day to enjoy who we are – The Lovely Book is the perfect tonic to brighten our day – to open our hearts to feel good about who we are – to remind us how the little things in our lives can bring us joy.
Wondering how Lehla came to the write this delightful book… it came to her in a flash as her three little ones were tugging on her weary body – she went to work a big colorful canvas with positive words – then transformed it into this amazing book. In her own words…
“There are lots of demands on women, and I think that women put a lot of demands on themselves. So this book is for all the wonderful women out there who need a breather and want to stop and laugh and remember what makes them happy.”
