Sweet Themes

By John Taylor

During our lives, we all feel quiet, unanswered needs for personal decisions that we often ignore, and whispered truths pass unnoticed… Often, however, issues resurface, and we find belated answers in our mental shoulda-coulda-woulda file. If only we had been in touch with our sensible self earlier, we might have avoided rehashing discomfort or, worse, pain. This work speaks to that. It is a manual for healthy attitude toward realities of life so that you will better use your time for you and have the peace of mind that we all cherish…
