Big Mama blog founder and New York Times bestselling author Melanie
Shankle helps us sort through our questions about being true to
ourselves in a world gone crazy and what matters the most in the end.
These days, so many voices tell us what to do, what to think, and what
kind of parent or friend or spouse to be that it's easy to feel
overwhelmed and defeated. Somewhere in the midst of online arguments and
crazy politics and the ups and downs of life, we've lost sight of the
gifts that are all around us: kindness, love, mercy, and joy.
In On the Bright Side, Melanie Shankle reminds us of the unchanging
principles we can count on in a changing world. These are lessons that
Melanie has learned along the way about how to find all the joy that
life has to offer--and why encouragement is never something to keep to
ourselves.
Melanie invites us to lead with love in all areas of our lives,
exploring topics such as:
- Finding your people
- Giving up on comparing and competing
- Aging (kind of) gracefully
- Believing in ever after
- Staying mostly sane while raising kids
- Thinking before speaking
- Making decisions
- And more!
This delightful memoir highlights the joys of life told in Melanie's
down to earth, relatable, and totally enjoyable style. On the Bright
Side is a how-to guide to knowing--and living--what matters most.
