What I Can Tell You: Even though it is a Best Seller I had never heard of this book before. This is one of the best parts about being a book reviewer. So many things are on my reading list that I normally wouldn't have noticed. God Never Blinks is a perfect title. It is thought provoking and a message I am teaching my children (God sees everything).
What Regina has done is created a templete that we should live our life by. I really appreciated her list of 45 life lessons and 5 to grow on that she wrote to celebrate growing older. It contained things like:
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
At 38 I felt like I really knew who I was, at 43 I know and accept even more of who I am and I like me. This is something I wished I knew in my early 20's. It would be interesting to know what kind of person I would be if I knew what I knew now, then (got that?)Regina's advice is so basic and true that it fits most of the population universally regardless of beliefs, upbringing or religion differences. While this is obviously a book of one woman's story, it could be any of ours.
I personally love self help books.
