When you’re looking for hope and inspiration . . . look around you!

"God’s love is everywhere," says Catherine Galasso-Vigorito, author of the nationally syndicated column, A New You. "We simply have to look at life with new eyes in order to see it."

With Catherine’s guidance, we are able to recognize the overwhelming signs that God and goodness are all around us.

Catherine’s themes not only support and encourage—they also strengthen our belief in God and in ourselves. In A New You, Catherine blends her own faith-filled vision with the voices of her readers, whose letters and testimonials confirm their awareness of the Lord’s presence in their lives.

You, too, may wish to write to Catherine once you’ve read her inspiring columns. They will make you think, make you feel, and even help you to believe. Her soothing words of inspiration come at exactly the right time for a world deeply in need of faith, hope, and reassurance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Message of Faith and Hope, September 15, 2005

This review is from: A New You: Words to Soothe the Body, Mind, and Spirit (Paperback)

What a godsend this book has become to me. Catherine Galasso-Vigorito is a most exceptional author and woman of faith. Her beautiful message of hope and encouragement leads me to a place of quiet reflection. She reminds me that God is with me always and this instills within me a sense of calmness and faithful assurance.

My personal life has been filled with "what ifs" and "I wish I hadn't." Catherine reassures me that God does love and forgive all of us and reminds me that we should also follow His way.

I assure you that if you read this book, you, like millions of others, will feel hope and peace in your life.

Catherine writes, "Consider the words that are used when talking to our precious children. Criticism and putdowns, even when delivered ""in fun,"" can hurt feelings and stunt the growth of a healthy self-image. Words spoken in anger can deeply wound and have lasting effects. ""Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."" Ephesians 4:29. If your words do not build up or encourage another, it is better to say nothing at all."

This may sound simplistic but how many of us have said a thoughtless, unkind word to another, whether it be a stranger, a service rep, a co-worker, neighbor, our children or spouse...anyone who may pass our path at a moment of frustration. This beautiful book reminds us of God's loving kindness and gives us the positive direction we need in our lives.

This book is broken into three sections: Mind, Body and Spirit. It speaks to me on all levels. It's word are beautiful and simple and I treasure it not only for it's inspirational advise but as a daily devotional.
