My Thoughts

This is a delightful little book. It is small enough to carry around with you everywhere to be available whenever the need arises. However you choose to use it, each page features a small verse to lighten the soul and lift the mind from darkness. There is a spiritual and religious element to the book but whatever your beliefs, if you are feeling in need of a few comforting words, then you will find them here.

I used this book as a little mind calmer last thing at night and early in the morning. I rise a little earlier than needed to do some yoga and attempt a few minutes meditation and as I sit and enjoy the peace of a new day, I can pick this up and read a page or two. The birth of this book comes from the author’s own personal grief and it is encouraging, I think, that something so beautiful can be born from such sadness. Thank you Louise for sharing your beautiful poetry.

My personal favourite is:

Remember the value of time

and

the beauty of simplicity

pick up a fallen friend

and

soothe many sorrows

Little Book of Hope by Louise Hall.
