January Books

 Thanks for stopping by today.

Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

January is always filled with the 

hope of rejuvenation, restoration and renewal.

I think the elaborate holiday decorations, 

celebrations and sometimes

indulgences makes us

ready for a clean slate

once all the decorations are put

to bed for another year.

With this in mind my January book selections

are filled with great ideas 

for renewal of your garden

(although my thoughts always go

to spring and summer planting)

and renewal of your personal success plan

whether that be in the area of career,

health or personal life.

Up first is "The Winter Garden" by Emma Hardy

$17.74 on Amazon.

Ms. Hardy displays a wonderful collection

of over 35 ideas on gardening during the winter months.

These are easy step by step instructions on a 

variety of indoor & outdoor projects.

I also appreciate that these are for small spaces.

You do not need an acre garden or a

large porch/outdoor area to display these projects

so even those that are in apartments or town homes

can join in the fun.

 The photography is outstanding and the 

"you will need" section of each project makes it

easy to gather your supplies.

Depending on your zone, some of these

maybe Spring projects outdoors.

 I am looking forward to a few indoor plant projects

for myself this year.

The second selection is from author Jack Canfield,

"The Success Principles: $15.05 on Amazon.

I saw him on an OWN

Super Soul Sunday episode.

You may know Mr. Canfield as the

co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

This is the 10th anniversary edition

so you may have read this title already.

I was impressed with his ideas

and his discussion of the elements

that are needed to lead a successful life 

during his interview with Oprah.
