Additional information
by Joni B. Redick-Yundt (Author)
Great things come in small packages. This little package in the form of a book(let) is power packed just like the author, who is now just arriving at her sixtieth birthday, though she looks closer to thirty-nine (ha!). This small but intense ride of a book is a good-hearted thumbing of the nose at the big six-o. This book is designed to uplift and motivate the reader to overcome their obstacles and blockages and is an aching this and that for learning how to make their time on this spinning orb as dynamic and full of joy as possible. A perfect tonic for those reaching these vaunted heights in age or those who just want to stay young in spirit, this book has a little bit of everything-from attitude/gratitude workshops to daily practical wellness tips, to visualization, to more helpful versions of the ABCs, to illuminating discussions of the joys (not) of menopause. What more do you need?
Enjoy the ride!
