Bad Hair Days, Rainy Days, and Mondays: Wisdom and Encouragement to Lift a Woman’s Spirit

This book offers a month’s worth of wisdom, advice, and encouragement for women in the form of 31 short daily meditational readings, written by award-winning teacher and author Cynthia Bond Hopson. The life lessons include: · Nothing is worth more than this day · Practice saying no · Do not give in to flattery · Take care of yourself – Pain is information · Listen to the children · There is a lesson in every failure · Remember, age ain’t nothing but a number · Three giggles a day will keep the doctor away The book begins with a brief, inspirational introduction giving suggestions for how to use the book. The 31 readings consist of a quotation, a Scripture reading, the meditation itself, and a closing prayer. The author suggests including a space after each lesson for the reader to add her own reflections and prayer, but I don’t believe this is necessary. Hopson’s style is conversational, humorous, and appealing.
