laugh out loud funny essays that inspire and encourage those who face difficulties -- which is all of us! Illustrated with drawings by critically ill children.
(I-Newswire) - Discouraged? Need a laughter break? "Hugs, Hope, and Peanut Butter" hits the spot. This uplifting book of inspirational and humorous essays, illustrated with drawings by critically ill children, will encourage anyone dealing with the difficulties of life - and that's EVERY one of us!
Author Marsha Jordan ( "The Peanut Butter Queen" ) is grabbing the attention of folks across the country with her award winning, upbeat humor that benefits children served by the nonprofit charity she founded ( www.hugsandhope.org ).
This disabled grandmother who has battled a connective tissues disease, chronic pain, and fatigue for most of her life, combines hope with humor in her writing as she shares her experiences and the lessons learned from them.
Pain is never easy, but it's more bearable with the healing power of laughter; and you'll laugh with this "Phyllis Diller wannabe" as she recounts with hilarious commentary her search for the perfect purse, camping adventures, her badly behaved toy poodle, and her experience with a new magnifying mirror. Essay topics include everything from husbands, preschoolers, and a day in the emergency room, to in-laws, car accidents, and living with chronic illness. Some chapter titles include, "Limburger Attitude, "The Joy of Shopping," "Is Broccoli Hazardous?" and "Life in the Manure Pile."
The book answers tough questions like "What did I do to deserve this?" and outlines ten tips for fighting depression, gleaned from the author's own life-long battle with the illness.
Besides being laugh-out-loud funny, "Hugs, Hope, and Peanut Butter" is filled with practical tips for coping with life's hardships. It will strengthen your faith, provide a new perspective on problems, and bring hope to the hurting.
Jordan's inspirational essays have been published in several magazines and anthologies as well as the "Cup of Comfort" book series. Currently a regular columnist for Handmaiden Magazine, Jordan has been featured on WGN Television's Unsung Hero program and in magazines such as Rosie, Woman's Day, Ladies' Home Journal, and TV Guide.
And why is she called "The Peanut Butter Queen?" Because she likes to proclaim: "Hope, love, and joy are sticky like peanut butter. When you spread them around, you can't help but get some on yourself too."
Hugs, Hope, and Peanut Butter is available in all major book stores, as well as through the Hugs and Hope Foundation's web site at www.hugsandhope.org/pb.htm.
