I thought, "what an interesting title. It's only 175 pages and has short chapters." Good.
I love a book with short chapters.
Then I thought, what could the author, C.C. Chapman, who I met at a blogger conference back in 2007 , write about that a lady of a "certain age" could find rewarding?
Well, what happened was, certain chapter titles were appealing, so I started by jumping around and started reading, "Success of all Sizes," "The Magic of Turkey Pot Pie," and "Life is too Short for Bad Wine."
By the time I finished "jumping" I had read most of the book!
The next day I finished the whole book and reread the chapters that made the most impression on me.
I 've read a lot of self help books in my day.
C.C.'s book gave me a fresh perspective on "how to."
My favorite chapter was the one entitled "The Power of Writing it Down."
I have always made it a point to carry a small notebook and a pen in my purse for the times when I need to write down a piece of information.
Well, in this chapter the author takes that idea to a much higher level.
"You never know when an idea might hit you, and it's always better to write it down than to forget it."
Boy, at this age that is the greatest suggestion!
C.C. - If I'm ever at a book reading of yours, or at another event with you, I'll hold up my notebook and show it to you and we'll smile. ;-)
