What makes My book different from other books like it?

"Musings of a Blogger Inspirational Thoughts for Your Life's Journey" contains information which will make a difference in people’s life and incorporates two amazing themes - ‘The Hexagon of Life’ and ‘The Parable of the Butterfly’ – these will open up new opportunities for people to look at their lives in an alternative way
My book is a collection of inspirational thoughts with a workbook relating to each chapter. After reading the book you can do the workbook which will assist you in finding out the truth about your own life and become a source of strength. It gives you the tools to cope and overcome any issues in your life. And, by having ‘Reader’s Questions’ at the end of the book, which can be utilized in a reading group, with a smaller number of people or, just two, the opportunity is there to answer questions already posed as well as write questions of your own. The choice is there for readers to share, discuss and discover together!
The workbook can be worked through at a person’s own pace, in privacy or within a Reading Group (if so chosen). 
The book is user friendly – easy to understand and the two themes (The Hexagon of Life and The Parable of the Butterfly) running through it allows the reader to identify a parallel between their personal life (the hexagon of their own life) and that of nature (the butterfly and the chrysalis).
The book is written from my own personal experience and from the heart and, brings a variety of concepts together which many other books do not, such as:-
Dreams, Stoppers, Fear, Change, Self-Esteem, Challenging thought patterns, Loneliness and Hope, Happiness and, choices, Chances and Changes.
The inspirational chapters, workbook and subsequent ‘Reader’s Questions’ allows the reader freedom of choice to choose....
how, who, when and what they want to work on. It gives the reader the choice to be inspired and to inspire others! 
Also at the end there is a ‘Certificate of Authenticity’ for readers to fill out and frame once they have read and worked through the book – this is to encourage readers to continue on their journey of life seeking and learning about themselves and who they really are!

I have greatly enjoyed ‘Musings of a Blogger’ by Ruth Anne Caukwell. It is a perfect book for anyone seeking to be happy, more positive, recover from low self-esteem or seeking to ‘find themselves’. Having experienced depression and anxiety for many years, this book has helped me to de-clutter my mind, heart and life from all the negativity that were keeping me captive. I love that this book includes a ‘work book’ so that what I read in the first part of the book, I can apply it to my own personal life and situation by making notes of my negative thoughts, positive thoughts, place negatives in the bin, write notes, draw pictures and even paint. This step is very important because we remember things more efficiently when we write them down, draw them, print out and place them on our fridge/wall so we can see them often and refer to them when life throws lemons at us.
A truly inspirational, self-help book written with so much love, hope and positivity! Well done Ruth! You will help many lives on their journey to find themselves and re-discover a life free from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and loneliness!! A must read!
---------------------------
I want readers to realize that life is not hopeless… that no matter what issue/s overwhelm us there is always an answer – we just need to look for it and we can!
I want my readers to realize that hey yes, they can ask for help from others… and should do if they need too but, ultimately, it is up to each of us individually to find, and use, one’s own inner strength to overcome – just like the butterfly in the chrysalis we need the struggle of life to realize and know where our strength lies and when we do we will start on a journey of finding out who we really are – we will find our authentic self!

The Ant and The Grasshopper...!

There was an ant who was friends with a grasshopper.
It was summer time and the grasshopper played while his friend, the ant, was busy everyday gathering food.
"Stop being so boring and come and play ant! Why do you need to hoard all that food for anyway....?" the grasshopper kept asking his friend.
"Yes there might be plenty now," ant answered, "but for how long? Winter is coming...!"
The grasshopper just laughed at his friend's words, "Don't be ridiculous, winter is months away! There will always be food and anyway it is better having fun!"
But, winter did come and sooner than the grasshopper thought - one day when he awoke the only thing he could see was snow...!
Soon the grasshopper became cold and hunger and went looking for the ant but he was no-where to be found. He searched for food and warmth until exhaustion set in and had to huddle under a bare tree, shivering and hungry.
The grasshopper had not prepared in the good times and as a result:- was left in the cold and starved.
The grasshopper had not understood that... living wisely today prepares you for your tomorrow!
But the ant paid a price too - he had worked hard and was now enjoying the rewards:- tucked up in his home, with a full larder and ready to enjoy the winter.
------------------------------
None of us get a second chance in life as each day, once lived, cannot ever be re-lived again. So do not just accept your life, instead... choose to make a conscious choice to take your day by the hands and lead your life!
Each day is in preparation for your next so... how are you preparing?
Does negativity lead your thoughts, words and actions towards a road of unhappiness and uncertainty or does a positive attitude lead your thoughts, words and actions to a road of happiness and certainty?
Choose to make a choice to take a change to step out and lead your life in the way that is deserving of you, as you are worth all the hard work!
