This book is a road map for personal growth. Any one and any team or organization can benefit from every member mastering the “Rules of the Game.”

Chérie Carter-Scott reinforces each chapter with real life examples that help to bring her “10 Rules” to life in a memorable fashion.

Life has often been compared to a game. We are never told the rules, unfortunately, nor given any instructions about how to play. We simply begin at “Go” and make our way around the board, hoping we play it right. We don’t exactly know the objective of playing, nor what it means to actually win.
That is what Ten Rules for Being Human is all about. These are the guidelines to playing the game we call life, but they are also much more than that. These Rules will provide you with a basic spiritual primer for what it means to be a human. They are universal truths that everyone inherently knows but has forgotten somewhere along the way. They form the foundation of how we can live a fulfilling, meaningful life.

• An inspiring and beautiful gift book full of wonderful stories, quotes, poems and insight to help you reflect on the positives in life.

• A wonderful gift book to give to someone in need of encouragement – it can take you from feeling down to feeling blessed.

The title of this beautiful book was inspired by a great quote from Vivian Green…”Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass…it’s about learning how to dance in the rain!”
How true it is! We all face adversity in our life. However, it’s not the adversity, but how we react to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our lives. During tough times, do we spend too much time feeling sorry for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude…learn how to dance in the rain?
It almost sounds too simple to feel important, but one word…gratitude, can change your attitude, and thus your life, forever. Sarah Breathnach said it best.

• “To keep a lamp burning, we have to put oil in it.”- Mother Teresa. This simple quote says it all. Do you put oil in your own lamp?
• Take care of yourself, you have heard it before, but are you doing it? This book will inspire you to take care of yourself to live a better life.
• Oil for your lamp is the perfect book for women who want to glow, sparkle and shine!

Mother Teresa said, “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.” Most women are so busy filling the lamps of the people they love that they let their own lamps run low. They spend so much time and energy taking care of their children, husbands, aging parents, friends, neighbors, bosses, coworkers, and others, that they often neglect themselves.

This new book, Oil for Your Lamp, is about women learning to take care of themselves first – not last. Written by “Femail Creations” catalog founder Lisa Hammond and inspirational author, poet, and storyteller BJ Gallagher, this wonderful new book speaks to women of all ages, from all walks of life. Here at Simple Truths, we celebrate women who light up the world … and we want to lovingly remind them to keep their own lamps filled. Oil for Your Lamp is the perfect book for women who want to glow, sparkle, shine, and dazzle!
