A Charming Journey through Life's Truisms

Leda Sanford has the ability to quickly catch your attention with well crafted sentences to tell a wonderful story in two short pages. Because the writing is so facile and seems simple you are surprised but the depth of what she has just relayed to you. That quality as a writer makes this book a small treasure. While the subjects she writes about seem quite familiar, the way she has chosen to write about them (being a grandmother, dancing alone) is fresh and appealing.

Inspiration essays for all adults

Ms. Sanford has written a very thoughtful and inspirational book that is appropriate for adults of all ages - not just for women over 50. Being in my young 40's I have found the book to be practical and uplifting. After reading the essay "Look for the Moon in the Morning - A reason to get out bed" I am motivated to start each day with a specific positive focus. The essay "A Book for All Seasons - Which books have influenced your life?" brought back memories of my family and my childhood. My younger sister has always been an avid reader as is my Mom and was my dad's mother. This book should be read by all generations. Thank you Leda Sanford!

Simple steps toward enriching your life -

With wisdom and compassion, Leda Sanford demonstrates a purposeful approach to life, suggesting gentle, clever steps to renew and enrich every aspect of living. She reminds us that as we mature, we have the "chance to live life anew and on our own terms". My favorite quote from her book sums up her nourishing challenges: "Are we ready to get up and go, to make a difference in our community, to make new friends and learn new skills and revisit our dreams? For that is the ultimate freedom-the freedom to make the most of our lives." You'll love this book!

A Handy Book to Keep by Your Bedside

Leda Sanford has written an excellent reference book for mature adults in thirty short and entertaining chapters. Although mainly geared toward a maturing audiance, all readers will find this short tome worthy of frequent consultation. As opposed to most self-books, this one actually has usable suggestion in each chapter that are set out succinctly; the reader is not forced to wade thorugh tons of verbiage to get to the points Leda makes throughout the book. Chapter Two explains the title of book, and I encourage readers to explore that and the other chapters on ways to explore new horizons and enhance the quality of each of our lives. I am sure other readers will do what I have done which is keep this short book on my nightstand as a constant reminder to live life to the fullest.

Share this book!!!

This is a marvelous book to read and to give as a gift to women of all ages. It is a small treasure that addresses everyday issues illustrated in story form. There are many books written about womens' issues, but this book, though small, has so much that one can relate to .. the chapter about Aunt Dora inspired a wonderful trip, the chapter "Calling all Grandmas" was so relevant and "Throwaway Lines" is a chapter that we could all use when facing the garage and "life" culling. I find it marvelous and cannot recommend it more highly. MOTHER'S DAY PRESENT!!!! well any time of year and great gift to yourself or someone you know!
