Joie De Vivre

By Ann Patton

TODAY IS THE TIME TO LIVE

Achieving the path of positive attitude can become a way of life and each and everyone of us is responsible for the choices that we make.

We can decide to organize our thoughts around a positive ambiance, leaving behind guilt, sorrow, doubt, and fear. You are wasting your time with these feelings and they stop you from moving on.

You can choose to attract what is good for you and with a little practice every day, and a little coaching along the way, you become master of your own “positive” energy, space, and span of control.

Let me show you how it can work you!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I dedicate my book Joie de Vivre to my two daughters, their partners and their children, my grandchildren. They are: my daughter Alyson and her partner Dan; my daughter Jennifer and her partner Louis; and my grandchildren Brennan, Meaghan,and Veronica as well as Emma, Simon and Olivia. They have supported and encouraged me all the way!

Meaghan and Veronica are growing, learning and accepting whatever comes along. They help me to move forward. Being surrounded by their positive attitude makes me stronger! Thank you.

When Brennan was 17 years old, he encouraged me to write a book rather than only helping individuals face to face, one at a time. Brennan, you inspired me when you said, Not everyone has the courage to discuss their dilemmas with another person, face to face. But they sure would buy this book! Thank you, Brennan.

Jennifer continuously supports me, without ceasing. I am full of love and admiration for her! Thank you so much, Jennifer.

I also dedicate Joie de Vivre to my best friend in the world, my brother David, who always gives me his full support and makes sure I am okay.

I am grateful for the support of my cousins – in particular, Phil and his partner Kelly, for keeping me up there, as well as Matthew, who is so caring and wants only the best for me.

I am blessed by my magnificent friends, Paul Nadeau and his partner Sue. They are both very dear to me. They shared many of their ideas, allowing me to think clearly and be well organized. Paul is a top-notch listener. He had a good ear for my project, and helped me to pursue it smoothly! Thank you, Paul and Sue!

Ann Johnson and her partner Paul Johnson are my wonderful friends. Ann’s diligent character, as well her loyalty and selflessness, have encouraged and assisted me in my business projects. She is always there for me. Thank you, Baboush, for supporting me along my path in life.

I am more than happy to include Dr. Fahed Turk, who is my very close friend. I love him dearly and thank him for being there for me!

Last but not least, I thank my editor Mary Trafford, who is an extraordinary person and brought the tools I needed to ensure the contents of my book flow well.

All this is magnificent but it may seem as if I am the star here. I don’t want flowers. What I want is for people in need to live with a positive attitude, My hope is that after they absorb and practice the ideas I share in this book, they will be happy and full of energy.

Finally, thank you to all my friends I
