Jennifer Louden - The Comfort Queen!
The numerous books that line my shelves, well-worn and well-loved at that, by Jennifer Louden, have helped me to travel some pretty challenging trails in my life. Her books are the ones that land in your lap just when you need them and are there to come back to over and over. She's been an inspiration to me since way before our paths actually crossed. To spotlight Jen as an Exceptional Woman is my honor!

Some Highlights of what Jennifer has to offer:
Mood Changers & Comfort Wishes
You know how a friend can smooth your worried brow when you're having a bad day and restore your hope? Or how going for a walk can lift your spirits? Or drinking a big glass of water and naming three things you are grateful for can remind you that you won't always feel overwhelmed and maybe you do have a choice how to handle your nasty co-worker? And you know how you don't always feel like doing any of these swell ideas because you:
* Don't have time, no way, no how, got things to do!
* Are too stressed/blue/sunk in your own poo
* Are absolutely positive nothing will help
* Are too uncomfortable and anxious to pause
* Can't remember what ever brought you relief or peace or comfort
* Nothing could be better than chocolate or more effective (I'm not saying these are but maybe they are as good!)
If any of these sound familiar to you (or about someone you love/like/wish would be nicer to work with) then you'll adore these Mood Changers and Comfort Wishes.

Comment on The Woman's Field Guide to Exceptional Living
"I have come to believe that the main task of each of us perfectly imperfect humans is to remember: there are always fresh possibilities to be discovered, we are always loved, we are part of the Whole. Corrie offers exactly the kind of splendid playful reminders I need."
