    About this ebook

    Enjoy every detail and magical moment in this book of short forms (stories that are only 150 words or less) inspired by the Midas Auto Repair sign at the end of my street in Carmichael, CA.

    Each short form will encourage you to listen better, notice extraordinary things in the ordinary moments, as well as you make you smile, laugh, and maybe even take action to make small tweaks and changes in your lives. All these morsels of love, patience, and attention to detail will delight you and everyone else in your life.

    So, go ahead and purchase this book full of seeds of sunshine for all your loved ones. They deserve your gift of love and attention on a daily basis. And last but not least, plan to thrive in 2023 and beyond, by exercising, eating healthily, reading more books, and listening to Seeds of Sunshine, a mother/daughter podcast that my daughter Sophia and I started in July 2022, on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!
