It can be hard to see any joy in today's world, much less consider it magical. Part self-help, part memoir, Life is as Magical as You Make It is Michelle Nelson-Schmidt's debut book for adults. Filled with anecdotes and wisdom that she's experienced and learned throughout the years, it's an entertaining and inspiring read you won't be able to put down. From a young mom in a troubled marriage, to a successful children's author of 32 published titles, Michelle shares her struggles and how she continues to overcome them by looking for joy and finding gratitude in the small moments of life. Michelle reminds us that it's okay to slow down and ignore society's messages that we're never enough-that we need more money, more influence, more everything to be happy. In her relaxed and conversational tone, she helps us remember we are already enough and inspires us to find our joy and feel the magic that's waiting to be seen all around us.
