Reviews for The Book of Affirmations
I really like this book. If you are like me, it can be a real challenge to come up with a positive affirmation when you are feeling low, confused or filled with an emotion that is threatening your peace. Sharon Elaines book is divided into many different subject areas and filled with a variety of affirmations in each area. I have used this book a lot and think that it is a great tool for changing destructive feelings/beliefs into constructive ones. I highly recommend this book!

This is an easy book to use, as it has all kinds of subjects for the affirmations. I think its helpful. Ive been down lately, and repeating these sentences has helped my attitude a lot.

Life can be stressful, everyone is too busy doing a million things at once and its easy to get bogged down and depressed. We need to take time out for ourselves, time to relax and take care of ourselves. In The Book of Affirmations Sharon Elaine reinforces this idea in a big way! This book gives you a detailed list of all different types of affirmations to bring you back into a happier, more peaceful place.

A friend gave me The Book of Affirmations as a gift shortly after my brother passed away. I was sinking fast and they said that the book had been a tremendous help to them and I should give it a try. To give you just a little background my brother was only 35 and one of my best friends. It was a year ago today. This has been a hardship on my life that is indescribable. The fact that I am able to write a review about this time in my life should indicate to you how remarkable this book truly is. There were times I didnt think I could go on times I felt I didnt want to reading these most uplifting and spiritual affirmations kept me from going over the edge on many occasions. I carry the book with me wherever I go. If I feel myself slipping, I just take it out and read. Sometimes I go to specific areas within the booksometimes I just open it and read. Either way, it has saved me on more than one occasion. Sharon Elaine truly has A Gift from God and I, for one, am grateful she has chose to share it with usnot only for myself, but for my husband and our three children.

Caring for others begins with caring for the self. Sharons book is a delightful reminder that we cannot do our best work in this world if we are not fully-fortified and confident about our abilities to move in and upon it. Laid out in a way that recognizes that we dont always have the time we need to regroup during a busy day and allows the reader to quickly find words of encouragement when they are needed, the book can also be enjoyed in a longer readsoaked in as a gift to oneself during those precious times of stillness. When I am angry, or blue, tired, or frustrated, whenever my ability to give love and support is challenged by others who wish to boost their egos by eroding my sense of self-worth or by the pressures of my job or my family, I open Sharons book and find tools for rejuvenation.

Thank you, Sharon, for writing this book so I could give it to myself! What a great book to keep with you at all times, especially when those negative thoughts come creeping in. I really love how they are categorized so you can look something up in a hurry! If everyone had this book and took time each day to read and act on the contents, there would be so much universal positive energy flowing that our world would begin a great healing process.

Personal Acknowledgements
My wonderfully incredible children I wish to thank the most. They have lived under the same roof(s) with me their whole lives, have ridden with me on my roller coaster of a life, and have still managed to hold onto their individuality and genuine goodness. They are the brightest, funniest, most enlightened, most tender, caring children I could ever hope to have in my life. They are always eager to help, and genuinely care about each other and the future of the world. Rebecca and Justin are my 21-year old twins, and Nicholas is my 14-year old son. I love, you, kids, youre the lights of my life. I cherish and respect you more than words can say, Im honored to be your Earth mother and I anxiously await your transformation into adulthood, and the unveiling of your lifes destinies.
My parents, Elmer and June Childress, deserve many thanks for supporting me and believing in me throughout my life. Theyve been married 57 years, are devoted to one another, and equally devoted to their children and grandchildren. I love you, Mom and Dad. Thanks for the wonderful role models that you are and for supporting me through this project, and many, many others. Love, Shesh.
My sisters (Pam Childress and Debbie Childress), live in separate parts of California. Im so honored to have them as my big sisters. Weve lived many miles apart for a long time, yet have remained much closer than many sisters who live within the same city. They are both so gifted. Penny, I love you, sweetie, and you have the singing voice of many angels. Daaahhbie, Daahhbie, youre such a talented musician and songwriter, and I love you. Sorry, girls, for all the times youve had to put up with the antics of your kid sister (remember the wrong car at the drive-in?).
My fabulous cousin Felicia Oswalt resides in Arkansas. Shes the one I used to dress exactly like, and wanted to be like when I grew up. This amazing, high-positive-energy woman, who is married to Larry and raises her three children, Amanda, Timothy and Trevor, always keeps her sense of humor, and her full, beautiful heart. She is the author of the famous line do anything you want in life, because theyll never see you again anyway! Flee, I love you, girlfriend.
