Shine Bright Anyway

This is a beautiful book and I was inspired by each page. The author shares personal stories and her quotes in daily format. I was interested to see how the book came about and checked out her Instagram page for more details. I admire her strength! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This book started as a 15day self-love challenge from recovering from a traumatic brain trauma into a book of saffirmations that you are enough. Part I you. Are Enough, discuses telling your story, setting limits, knowing yourself,rewriting your story, embracing abundance. Part 2 "self-care" discusses ways of taking care of yourself. Including gratitude,taking time to play and replenish yourself. Part 3 concerns fighting fear and remains steadfast. Down-to earth explanations. Illustrations.

I absolutely loved this. I don’t read much nonfiction but this found me at the right time in my life. This was full of inspiration!

This was cute! I liked the little stories with messages and the photo that accompanies each day. I found this made it a nice easy read. The pictures were bright and simple and I liked that about them.

Sometimes you just want a friend to sit with you and give you a little pep talk that isn't overwhelming, but helps you shake off the doubt and uncertainty, and feel that maybe you can do this after all. This book is that friend. Each day is a page or so of simple, clear talk on a specific theme. Here are some snippets I particularly like:
From Day 27, Be Courageous: "Take one step in the direction of your future."
From Day 33, Breathing Room: "You deserve to be happy."
From Day 50, Stop the Worry: "Give yourself permission to relax. It will be okay."

The best part is that if reading a page still feels overwhelming, you don't even have to do that. You can just look at the photo for that day and read the short encouragement. Because let's be honest, sometimes that's all you feel you have in you, is to just look at the picture. And I think that the author would say that's just fine.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this eARC for unbiased review. This review will be cross-posted to my social media accounts closer to the book release date.
