Yesterday I was having one of those "I need to have an attitude adjustment sort of days". My parents are both deceased, my mother having been buried the week of Christmas in 1988. I get sort of melancholy this time of year, and without meaning to, can slide into a "funk". Anyway, it was that kind of a day. I was looking for something in the bottom, deep drawer of my desk when I came upon Tim Richardson's book, JUMP STARTS. I had actually forgotten I had it. I read the table of contents and knew IMMEDIATELY the place I was to begin reading: Part Seven: Life Teaches Us Lessons in Attitude Adjustment! Yesterday I read "The Sun". This morning I read "Music in the Morning". Thank you, Tim, for the gift of your book. Thank you for writing it for people like me. And I thank God, who always in His timing, knows who or what to put in my path. It was no coincidence that I came across your book yesterday.

Inspirational and thought provoking vignettes. There's no reason NOT to read this book.

It was fun reading Tim Richarson's book, JUMP STARTS. I'm glad Tim has such insight and glad the proceeds go to such a worthy cause. Amazon.com is wise to carry this book. I know it will be a big seller. Businesses would be helped by including this book in their training program.

Tim Richardson displays insightful and inspiring stories in his book, Jump Starts: Wit and Wisdom to Jump Start Your Day. Tim captivates the essence of what it's all about.

I did just what the end of the book said NOT to do. It arrived in the mail the day before I boarded a plane to travel to a professional meeting, and I could not stop reading it! I shared a summary of it with nurse colleagues that next day. It gave me such a positive perspective when I needed it most. The format of the book allows you to read one entry per day, or time. It then poses a question that will keep you thinking/pondering long after you have left the book that day. I plan to take it with me when my spouse and I travel this week...it will give us many a moment to share our thoughts,dreams, and wishes. Thank you, Tim for putting your wisdom in a form that we can take with us anywhere.

Jump Starts is a very inspiring book. It's fun to read and leaves you with the motvation to live each day to it's fullest.

If you don't want to become a better person, buy the book anyway. All book proceeds support The Bill Walter Melanoma Research Foundation, which helps people with this terrible disease.
