Customer Reviews

After reading this I want to look for the magic in everday.

A tonic against and perhaps a respite from the "everyday" world around us, adding a hope that "everyday" could have the magical qualities that Gordon hearkens us to. The short chapters were an easy 'one a night' read. So engaging, some nights, that one was not enough. Never as heart wrenching as "Chicken Soup for the Soul", a more compact gentler soul-stirring. A reminder to take another look, don't expect greatness, because simplicity is a great reward. To look at something as basic and taken for granted as our alphabet and see the wonder in it evokes a feeling of awe. A light burned a little brighter after reading that chapter. Reading these stories makes me want to sit down and explore my past to see what wonderous moments flickered their lights in my life and of those close to me.
