Author Jodie Hills says that the ability to believe in yourself and others is a lovely gift--and a gift that must be shared.
Believe is about relationships with others, but more important, with yourself.
One page may be about a love relationship, then friendship, and then self-love. As a parent, friend or lover, the words, "I believe in you" may be the most magical of all.
Believe is about finding the person as well as the ways and places to believe in. One of my favorite selections is: "I believe, along the way, there are some people that you have to let in, and there are some you have to let go...and believe me, one is not necessarily easier than the other."
Another is: "I believe that we're all about just looking for those reasons to get out of bed, to find a well lit path, to be happy, to be love."
I have someone in my life right now who needs to believe in herself--in that reason to get out of bed each day--and I will gift her this book because I believe in her.
Armchair Interviews says that vivid illustrations and powerful words make this book's message worth sharing...if you believe!
