Everything Beautiful: Perspectives for Your Daily Life

By Barbara Fisher, Kindra Wright and Kimberly Sumner

Life is filled with ups and downs, disappointments and uncertainties. And whether its our mental and physical health, our diet and exercise, our careers, or our relationships, sometimes it seems like there are just so many things we cannot change. But what if our attitude affects our outcome? What ifespecially with Gods helpwe always have the power to change our attitude?

With over thirty-five years of combined experience both in the fashion industry and in the ministry, they share how they have seen the importance of not just looking attractive but also maintaining a positive perspective in life. Its a big misconception that we cant help it if we feel a certain way, and Everything Beautiful will help us take the time and the effort to stop, examine our feelings, and respond to our circumstances in a positive way.
