A Wonderful Read

I sat down one evening with a cup of tea - and a book called The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...Once - Two and a half house later - I realized that I just about completed the 220 page read -

This book is a gift to the literary world - A truly inspiring book - Makes you realize that jobs - bills - these are the small things in life -Family - Friends - Peace of Mind - Faith - are the thing that do matter most. There were times when reading this book - I laughed out loud - Loved Miss Tessie Tate - and then there were moments that I closed the book for a moment to reflect -

Though to some the loss of a pet may not seem so very important - But I have lost me little Tortie (Miss Carmlla) of eighteen years to old age and cancer on December 17th of 2007 - This book helped me get through the pain and sadness -

So I want to say "Thank You" Mr. Anthony - for a wonderful and inspiring book. And Miss Tessie Tate - keep on rockin...

Respectfully - Terri Scaltro

Messages excellent, delivery somewhat lackluster

This book was designed to be inspirational, composed of a series of short essays and poems. In that regard, it does hit the target, soft of. The themes are about looking on the bright side, seeing the wonder of life and always being appreciative of the routine gifts that life brings. While those themes certainly can be uplifting, the delivery did not generate a feeling of intensity. There was no "whoo hoo" moment, where I paused and vowed to look at the world in a different and more positive light.

Of course the messages in the book are in the category of those we should consistently hear. The tone of messages we receive almost always leads to a feedback loop in the direction, either positive or negative, of the message. Since the messages are themselves sound, others may find the delivery method more uplifting than I did.

Motivational Book Review - "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me... Once"

Wonderful...that's all I can say. This book has truly inspired me to embrace life fully. I have taken my time in reading this book because it has given me the opportunity to sit down, relax in my cozy chair and digest what the words are saying to me. There are so many passages that offer me an opportunity to look deeper in myself and realize my full potential. Sometime's it's much easier to focus on the unfortunate pitfalls of life; "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...Once is a breath of fresh are. I have already noticed when I need to refocus my perspective, I refer back to this book because of it's insightful and delightful words of encouragement.

May God continue to bless and keep you as you continue to inspire all of us to live our best life right now!

I use to look forward to going to sleep...now I look forward to waking up!!!

I have wanted to provide my feedback on this for a while now but words just do not express the feeling I received while reading this book. I didn't want it to end. I started reading this book while going through the most difficult time of my life. This book has taught me to invest in myself and to be my own best cheerleader. Just how I encourage others, I can encourage me. I didn't realize how subconsciously I would beat myself up for different things I put myself through. I was my own worst critic. I am now learning how to forgive myself and move on faster and not dwell on the negativity. It is something I will continue to work on for the rest of my life as it is the best feeling in the world to be able to just let something go that is not deserving of my energy. I also now make "me" a priority and I promise to do at least one thing for "me" everyday. This could mean making a doctor's appointment, putting my car in the shop, calling a friend I haven't talked to in a while, going for a walk, and so on. Whatever it is, it is for me!!! This has changed my life. I would not have believed such a small thing could have made such a huge difference. I would recommend this book to any and everyone. It really hits home. It is the perfect gift.
