I'm so glad I picked up this book. It is filled with so many insightful, heartfelt quotes to ignite your soul and uplift your mood and dreams. Some passages resonated with me more than others but as a whole this is definitely a lovely positive book to keep on hand and definitely one I will read over and over again or perhaps just flip to a page for some positivity to bring into mind when needed.

May your attitude reflect the life that is destined for you.
May it be a dream-builder, a joy-weaver, and a peacekeeper.
May your thoughts always serve your divine purpose.
-Dodinsky
Gentle Reminders is a small volume of wisdom, inspiration and encouragement. There is definitely a focus on interpersonal relationships, some photo stock perhaps a bit too generic.

A memory visited my heart.
It whispered the same story as in the previous days.
I usually dismiss it with tears.
But today is different. TODAY I released it with a smile.
The CHOICES you make will leave some people unhappy
But if you life your life based on their choices, becoming miserable is almost a certainty.
May it be a dream-builder, a joy-weaver, and a peacekeeper.
May your thoughts always serve your divine purpose.

I love this little book! This book is so beautiful in its words and images. It has great reminders that everyone needs in life at one time or another. The pictures went perfectly with each reminder of truth. This was a quick and easy read and a very touching book. So glad I got a copy for myself and thinking about buying a few more copies to give as gifts. This would make a great gift book to give to friends and family. The sparkles on the butterflies on the cover makes it even cuter to me. I had never read anything from this author before but now I am going to see what else he has published since I really liked this book so much.

This completes my Dodinsky collection and is just as delightful and uplifting as the previous two....although the this is more 'in depth' in my opinion and I refer to it daily.
It raises you when you need a lift, it comforts you when you feel sad and more importantly it reminds you that your not alone
It's a must have

Another great addition to my library of Dodinsky! The cover is just gorgeous and the pictures throughout the book are so uplifting. This book might be small in size but it delivers a huge message. It will definitely make you stop and think as you read. I like to randomly open to a page and read that quote as my "message" for the day. These "gentle reminders" uplift me every time I read them.

I've loved each and everyone of his books. This one is the absolute best.

This is a great little book! I can see where it could be very uplifting in challenging times. I have at least two people on my mind that I might try to get a copy for.
It is an easy, quick read and a book you might want on your “Daily Ritual” shelf, for perception modification and discipline rejuvenation. This is how I will continue to reference the book.

Very inspiring and uplifting. Filling you with a sense of positivity. The sayings are light just like the butterflies' wings on the cover and the images very cute.
Four stars are only to differentiate with the first two books, the images of which I liked more.
