My Review

Years ago my mom bought me a book called Simple Abundance. After reading this for years and delving in to Buddhism, I have worked hard over the past 20 years to make sure that no matter how bad things may be, I need to remember to be thankful and grateful for what I have, because it is so much more than many. So, when I received this beautiful journal, I knew it would be something that I would be able to put to good use. This is an absolutely beautiful journal that has wonderful illustrations and quotes, helping to coax your mind to think of unique things to be thankful for. Sometimes it may be hard but remember if you have a roof over your head and food to eat, those count!

I would highly recommend this journal to everyone I know. We all have a lot to be grateful for.
