How gratitude can get the life you really want... 'Gratitude is
your soul's superfood, but cheaper than goji berries, and twice as
good for you. I like to think of it as mindfulness for cynics or
the "gateway drug" to spirituality. It's a very tangible thing you
can do everyday that will shift your focus to what you have rather
than pining and obsessing over what you don't have. Away from a
state of lack into limitless abundance...' So what happens when we
stop taking things for granted and start putting some gra* into our
gratitude? When we consciously turn our heads and hearts to what we
have and focus on the good? In Joy Rider, television presenter and
host of the podcast Thanks A Million, Angela Scanlon, presents her
guide to tapping into your own natural super resource - joy. This
book is an invitation to embrace the kind of gratitude that cuts
through the bulls**t of life to its truth, connecting us with the
present and grounding us in self. When there is so much to feel
anxious about, Angela shares with readers how focusing our
attention on the small, incremental positives in life can
completely change it for the better. * It means love in Irish
This enchanting Christmas Chronicles classic combines solid
historical fact with glorious legend to deliver the definitive
story of Santa Claus. For anyone who has ever wondered...you're
right to believe in him!In "The Autobiography of Santa Claus",
Santa reveals his story for the first time. Nicholas (his real
name) was born in the Middle Eastern country of Lycia to wealthy
parents who died when he was young. The kind people of Lycia taught
him the lessons of goodness and generosity, which he began to
practice as a child by sharing his wealth with those in need. As a
young man, Nicholas realised that this generosity had bestowed upon
him special abilities to distribute his presents to deserving
children everywhere. And so it was that Santa broadened his
gift-giving and spread his message to many others who also valued
his belief in the goodness of giving. Families will delight in each
chapter of this Christmas classic - one per each cold December
night leading up to Christmas! And who is better to lead us through
seventeen centuries of Christmas magic than good ol' Saint Nick
himself?
