"Very short inspiring stories to help remind you to count your blessings and be thankful every day. It was hard to stop reading, but I think best read a chapter a day."

Quotes

  • “Twenty years ago, we gathered friends together to write about, talk about, and do Random Acts of Kindness, and from this small group a kindness movement was born that circled the globe. With Living Life as a Thank You, Nina and Mary Beth have tapped into something just as deep and powerful that can truly transform people’s lives—our deep and abiding need to feel and live from a place of gratitude.”

    — Will Glennon, founder, the Random Acts of Kindness Foundatin, and author of Practice Random Acts of Kindness

  • “This book will put a smile on your face and a lift in your step, and give you plenty of reminders that saying ‘thanks’ costs nothing, but delivers a lot!”

    — Jan Yanehiro, Emmy-winning broadcaster and author of This Is Not the Life I Ordered

  • “Thank you, thank you, thank you for Living Life as a Thank You. I am grateful for the inspiring stories, the simple, clear exercises with profound results, and the empowering reminder that an attitude of gratitude boosts self-esteem, well-being, and appreciation for the precious gifts that fill our days. This is a must-read for everyone who desires peace and happiness.”

    — Susyn Reeve, author of Choose Peace & Happiness

  • “In our day and age, the daily practice of gratitude and acceptance is arguably the most important spiritual routine we should all embrace. Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons found an entertaining and wonderful way to make it easy for us to live life as one big thank you!”

    — Gahl Eden Sasson, author of A Wish Can Change Your Life
