There is a Perfect Daily Thought Book for You!

 

This lens will explore the many daily wisdom-thought for the day books available and help you choose the one that best meets your interests and your desires. Started out to be the Top 50 Daily Wisdom books and ended up being over that.

Please review all of the categories to find the best type of daily wisdom book for you or for those you care about.

Thought for The Day 

In this hustle and bustle lifestyle we lead, it is always a good idea to stop for a moment several times throughout the day and touch base with your heart. One way to do this is to connect with a daily thought or a meditation topic that will help you to stop and choose your thinking.

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said "...a man is what he thinks about all day long."

Mike Dooley said "...thoughts become things, choose the good ones."

We have a choice about what we think. There are numerous ways to effectively instill thoughts that nurture us. One way is by using a daily reflections-daily wisdom book. Each day you will find a new, thought provoking, inspiring reading to guide you through the day.

Two suggested Ways To Use The Daily Thought Books
One way to use these little gems of wisdom is to take one along with you to read the daily reading when you have a break from work, while waiting for a train or a traffic light, while waiting in the drive through, or any number of 'stopping' points throughout the day.

You may use one book throughout the day and read the daily thought several times, or, you may opt to have a few different books for different times of the day. Depending on your interests, your schedule, your challenges, and your work, you will find that there are specific wisdom of the day books to work well just for you.

About Me

I am an artist. My artwork and photo art can be seen on my lens GypsyOwl's CafePress Showcase Artwork , photography, and photo art designs have been created at the following galleries. GypsyOwl's Studio & Gifts - CafePress And GypsyOwl's Gallery - Zazzle My Photography is also available through 123RF - Royalty Free Photos

I am the founder of a networking community for small business, I manage multiple online forums, networking sites, and I am creating website content as well as graphic design. Visit my lens GypsyOwl Organization Small Business Network to learn more about the SBN.

My past work is primarily in The Mental Health related field. I worked as a para-professional Therapist Technician Team Leader in a Residential Crisis Stabilization Unit. Funding changes in the industry left me and most of the para-professional direct care providers without jobs. I have spent my working life in fields that allowed me to learn a lot about a variety of topics. I have been a house manager in a domestic violence shelter, a second hand shop manager (for charity services that provided shelter to the homeless), and a variety of experiences both for pay and volunteer.

I have worked with children and adults in a variety of settings (educational, recreational, health & wellness, and spiritual growth). I am enrolled in the Jones International University BBA Degree program - Marketing Management, Global Marketing Stategies, and E-Commerce are my focus. I am an adult student preparing myself for a career change. I have completed 3/4 of the requirements for graduation.

Each step of the way I find my interests expanding. It is clear that my new knowledge and skills will benefit any area I set my mind to. I am a member of The SARK International Creative Dream Team. I am a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend. I enjoy music, gardening and reading. I am enthusiastic about everything that I do and every day is an opportunity to learn. I mentor women in various transitional living communities. This volunteer activity has been extraordinarily rewarding for me.

But For The Grace Of God There Go I

I believe that one of the most interesting things about me is that I have found myself being a volunteer liaison in every job or volunteer position I have been in throughout my life. Support in life seems to come from so many different areas of interest. People who have similar ideas, talents, professions, families, backgrounds, experiences, challenges and other points of commonality find enrichment in their lives by connecting with one another. Perhaps I am evolving through this kind of work because I find such satisfaction in watching people have those "I am not alone in this" moments. No matter what the challenges in life, there are people who are going through, or have gone through similar things, and connecting them can manifest great sources of growth and insight.
