“A joyful heart is good medicine.” -Proverbs 17:22
I am so excited today to be able to tell you about a wonderful new book that is coming into the world today. My lovely daughter in law, Keelia Clarkson, is sending out her first book, Chapter One Again.
It is a heart-warming, cozy story that warmed my heart. The story weaves a tale that includes a woman finding purpose, friendship, love, renewed faith, restored family relationships, with a charming bit of romance developing throughout. Life-soothing, hopeful, and validating to the ideals of my heart.
I have noticed over the past couple of years that sometimes all the darkness in life and the stresses that are permeating our lives and evident in social media and news articles, that I can feel the despair. One of my defenses when this happens is to remember the verse above—a joyful heart is good medicine. So, I have the habit of looking for life-giving, light hearted books, that give light, beauty and delight to my soul. I have even been known to watch an occasional Hallmark movie or listen to a sweet, warm hearted piece of fiction on my audible because I know it will lighten my thoughts. Kind-hearted stories life my spirits and encourage me to live in hope, life-giving and love.
That is why I am so excited for you to get this book into your hands. I know it will bring a smile to your heart.
What is even more meaningful to me is that the author is my beloved daughter in law who also happens to be one of my bfs.
When my now adult children were growing up, I would often pray that in His time, God would bring them a worthy spouse, a partner with whom to share life ideals and faith. Little did I know what a blessing and grace that person would be, not only to my children, but how deeply I would be blessed. And so my darling Keelia is such a person—an angel blessing to my life.
Be sure to get your copy today and share it with your friends. I know it will give you light and life during this season of life.
