Editorial Review

This book features 366 essays penned from a woman's perspective. Sample topics include gratitude, harmony, self-nurturing, positive body image, the importance of scented linen closets, and many others. Each essay sports a pithy quote from (surprise!) the likes of Kahlil Gibran. Viewed uncritically, it's hard to argue with Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars FInding One Self and Fulfilling a Dream
After being in an abusive relationship for ten years, I had feelings of hopelessness. I had no positive outlook about anything and the thought of a 'future' was slim to none in my eyes. I have always wanted to be a writer, but the misery that I was living in kept me from having a clear mind and my thoughts were jumbled and disoriented. In 1997, my parents bought me Simple Abundance. I read it, reread it, and read it again. I followed Sarah's suggestions and participated in all that she suggested with the wonderful inspiring activites she offered in the book. My book was published in May 2003! I have a wonderful marriage with my 'new' husband and am living my life as it is suppose to be. I am living the life God intended me to live. Thanks to Sarah Banbreathnach for sharing her insights and taking the time to write such a wonderful book that has changed a lot of lives for the better.

Sarah Breathnach writes about the simple pleasures in life in such a way that it makes you want to try all the wonderful small joys she speaks about in the book. Even my husband picks it up and reads the daily messages. He comes out with a smile on his face with some kind of comment on the subject matter each day!

5-0 out of 5 stars more refreshing thoughts for a thirsty life
This book continually gives me encouragement and motivation.It helps to point out all the good things in life without having to go shopping or changing anything in my life but the way I see things.I enjoy this book very much and recommend it to anyone looking for inspiration and validation.The author highlights all the wonderful things in a woman's life, and literally celebrates the fact that we merely exist.She helps with her terrific sense of humor, and her ability to admit her faults that are not unlike our own.She reminds us of positive things we have that we may miss in the day-to-dayness of our lives. ...

simply abundant with pearls of wisdom......simply learning how to breathe again...to reconnect with myself again...to retune to my inner child again....simply beautiful.Still haven't found a book though as good as 'The Journey:Where Seagulls Dare To Fly' (www.amazon.co.uk)...therefore 4 stars only!

5-0 out of 5 stars Simple but not Simple
Simple can be a negative word in some contexts. However, simple is beautiful as Sarah writes about it. When I began my own simplicity movement 15 years ago I felt all alone and sometimes felt like caving in and jumpingback on the materialistic bandwagon. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Escavating Your Authentic Self
It is exactly what I was looking for and I am most pleased with another one of Breathnach's books. JP

5-0 out of 5 stars a positive pick-me-up
I have taken this book out time and time again since buying it a few years ago.I have underlined, highlighted and written notes in the margins according to what peaks my interest at a particular time.These books never fail to give me a boost of refreshing energy that is well-needed and, according to the author, well-deserved in a time where women find themselves constantly on the go.I can't say enough how much I enjoy this book.

1-0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Disappointing
I've never written an Amazon review, but this book compelled me to do so. I'm surprised that this book was published because its style and organization are so poor. The chapters are choppy, their arrangement makes no sense, and there is no cohesion. The self-excavation thread does not tie the book together as well as it might have, and the excavation journal project doesn't finish what it starts.

Reading the other reviews I was surprised to see how many people appreciated the asthetics of this book in hardcover - I'm almost sorry I have the paperback version!
3-0 out of 5 stars TOO MUCH GOD FOR ME
I bought several sets of tapes for my family gift giving but when I played one I decided to put them in the charity box instead.Far too much religion in it.Self improvement and joy of living does not HAVE to be god related.I am sorry because I really do think she has great talent.If she could just write and leave religion out of it.

4-0 out of 5 stars Jumping Into The Deep End
"Do you remember when you were little and jumping into the deep end of the pool was one of the most daring things you could do?Once a sense of play introduces a little deep-end jumping into each ordinary day, you'll want to keep doing it again and again.And you were meant to."

4-0 out of 5 stars Author Takes a Look at Men
For the most part I enjoyed the book. There were certainly many diverse and varied experiences written about in the book. Not anything earth moving but thoughtful and entertaiing. Would make a good gift to any male reader in your life.

3-0 out of 5 stars And Never the Twain Shall Meet.
Ms. Breathnach collaborated with Michael Segell to teach us women that men actually do think and feel differently from the females in their lives.It was through his wife, Winnie Gallagher, that the two found each other and produced this informative journal.3-0 out of 5 stars and maybe the next story will give me an inkling...
The writers seemed to be reaching hard to delve some deep female part inside when they would rather be marlin-fishing or something.I found the discussions of intimacy the most readable, possibly because having sex is apparently the only thing men have in common with women. In trying so excruciatingly hard to show feelings, many of the writers turned to, you guessed it, life and death situations such as a spouse's cancer, war in Africa, parental loss.The kinds of things it takes to get guys to emote, I suppose. Could you perhaps let us know how you felt to see your child be born?Ease a child's anxiety over some imagined terror?Let us know why you hate, really hate, the guy in the car infront of you?So you would throw yourself down the stairs if it would make the Vikings win.Uhuh.And sex is the closest thing to God.Gotcha.Now we know you write with it, in addition to thinking with it. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Mrs. Sharp's Traditions
I have read every book that Susan Ban Breathnach has written and have loved them all. However, Mrs. Sharp's Traditions is a jewel in today's world. It truly focuses on family traditions and celebrations and helpsthose of us who juggle career, family and home. It is a shame that thisbook is no longer in print. It took me 3 months to get it at our locallibrary. I highly encourage the publisher to re-print.

5-0 out of 5 stars If you don't reprint this book my family will suffer!
For year's my family has gone without traditions and celebrations of any kind.Everytime we gather as a family it is a disaster!This book has brought me hope that there can be a time in my life where we can gathertogether as a happy family and enjoy ourselves.If I don't have a copy ofthis book for my very own library, my family and I will suffer for alleternity.Please reprint this beautiful book! ...
