Had reviewed her Ten Gifts book a few years ago and wanted this book partly because I like her writing style and partly because what she writes about is a major interest of mine. And she certainly didn't disappoint me.

The nice things about this book is its nice to have a book when you're hungry to read something of value that has something of value to share. The dozens of stories about the unexpected gifts that come into our lives, that are written about, make this book a treat when you want something to read that will energize you. Sorta like a cool fresh clean glass of water on a hot day, or the hot cup of chocolate as the snow falls outside.

Since I am an avid gardener I see each of the dozens of stories she has, as blooms in my garden that I can enjoy every day and for years to come. Like each new flower season and new blooms each story seems to offer a new lesson each time I re-read the book.

Men and women should like this book. And its a great book to give to someone whose in a rut, for a birthday or any occasion. And yes I have some favorites in the book. Namely You Never Know-the wonder of nonjudgement, Beautiful Hands-The wonder of self acceptance, The ... Miracle, Someone Who Cares, A Hug From God, Lost and Found and Strong Stuff-The wonder of achieving personal balance.

This review is from: Something Wonderful Is about to Happen...: True Stories of People Who Found Happiness in Unexpected Places (Paperback)

We've all been taught to look for things and happiness outside of ourselves. We've had the ability and resources for happiness all this time--inside ourselves. We are able to create for ourselves the environment we live in. Robin has some eye opening stories that will help us see this. We can't control cicumstances but we can control our reaction to them. The Love Light at the end of each story is a great idea source. Let your happiness and joy flow!

We are surrounded by beauty and wonder--Robin will make it come alive in your world. You will see possibilities in every crisis--you will find hope and goodness where once you saw only despair. I say, "pitch the Prozac" and read Robin's books.
