5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Time to Reflect

Haris Adiwaid
Stars Shine Only in the Darkness : Inspirational Stories From Everyday Life

I loved this book. Beautiful stories with the "Time to Reflect" section at the end of each chapter. This was a great addition and made me pause and reflect on each question/statement and most often made me smile. I love the chapters that dealt with looking at the world through a child's eyes and favorite teachers. I always remember a few of my teachers and the impact they have had on my life. The chapter that touches on instinct and premonition are very powerful. I try to listen to both and very often am right when I do pay attention. Reminiscing memories really resonated with me. We need to cherish the past and when we lose a loved one, it's these memories and talking about them, that help us through our grief. The chapter on change gave a great analogy of "change is like an onion", "removing dead layers to achieve....". This can be associated with many things in life. Would definitely recommend this book.
