Product Description

Already an internet phenomenon, these wise and insightful lessons by popular newspaper columnist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Regina Brett will make you see the possibilities in your life in a whole new way.

When Regina Brett turned 50, she wrote a column on the 50 lessons life had taught her. She reflected on all she had learned through becoming a single parent, looking for love in all the wrong places, working on her relationship with God, battling cancer and making peace with a difficult childhood. It became one of the most popular columns ever published in the newspaper, and since then the 50 lessons have been emailed to hundreds of thousands of people.
Brett now takes the 50 lessons and expounds on them in essays that are deeply personal. From "Don't take yourself too seriously-Nobody else does" to "Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift," these lessons will strike a chord with anyone who has ever gone through tough times--and haven't we all?

I have only skimmed this and will start reading it on Friday.  I already love the 1st and 3rd Lesson titles:
Lesson 1: Life Isn't Fair but it's Still Good and Lesson 3: Life is Too Short to Waste Time Hating Anyone
I say AMEN to both of those!

  18. No matter how good or bad a situation is, it will change.

    It's what I often tell my children and my students. Hang in there. It will change. Then hang on for dear life.
