Customer Reviews

Laughter is Therapy

Karen shows us that if you can't laugh at your self, you are too stiff and you can breakdown.

Nice gift

I bought this as a gift for a co-worker who was just sending her youngest child to college. She enjoyed it for the humor and perspective it gave as it caused her to reflect on how crazy life can be with children, activities, work, etc.

bleueyes

I've read and re-read all of Karen's books and I thoroughly enjoy them. I think it's great I'm not the only woman with the same dilemas as she and constantly fighting dog hair from a white german shepard and dust monsters! This particular book really hit home on several accounts: wondering minds, living in the here and now instead of worrying about everything, and just reconnecting friendships you've let slip away. I actually laughed out loud when I read certain passages and say "yup" (texas talk). I highly recommend this book to bring cheer to your spirit and help you feel one is not alone.

Finally, something real women can relate to!

I truly loved this book. Karen details many aspects of her life, which coincedentally, mirror (at least roughly) the lives of myself and many women I know. She tells it like it really is, and shows us how to appreciate what we have. I thoroughly enjoyed her comments relating to friendships, communication, and even sex (I loved the part about the three sweatsuits and a dark coat). I think most everyone who reads this book will take away from it a greater understanding of self and how to cope with life.
