Summary: Creating a Charmed Life: A wonderful gift for women
Review: Creating a Charmed Life is a series of 75 essays, each exploring an idea that will pave the way to a positive, life-affirming habit. Each essay is about 3 pages long, starts with a catchy title and a quote. Examples: "Get Ample Shine Time", "Practice the Vacation Principle", "Stop to Realize", "Honor Your Cycles" and "Breathe"!
I enjoy Victoria Moran's style; it is beautiful, fresh and very friendly. The book is full of insights and wisdom, and will direct you to many positive habits that will make your life happier, easygoing and fulfilled.
Victoria Moran gave us, busy women, a gift by writing this very useful book. Reading it is obviously not enough. Put these "sensible spiritual secrets" into practical use, and enjoy a charmed life.

Summary: Wonderful gift for anyone (especially yourself!)
Review: I read one chapter of this little book (about 3 pages)every morning, and I've found it's a perfect way to start the day. Victoria Moran writes with passion and compassion, and each chapter offers a concrete way to improve your life in small, practical ways that don't overwhelm at all. Her words aren't going to change huge portions of your life... but they will change the ways in which you look at your life and approach each day. Over time, these small adjustments add up into greater peace and happiness - not because the world is different, mind you - your kids still have whiny days, and your boss can still be irrational.... but taking the time to restore yourself (even just by reading for 10 minutes) makes a huge difference in how you deal with those things. Mostly, the advice deals with how to live fully in the present moment, appreciate the small things (like a cup of good coffee or the touristy things in your town that you take for granted). The big key for me is that she's never 'preachy' and doesn't use language that assumes shared religion or spirituality. She just writes as if she's a friend saying something profoundly - and simply - wise. That's worth 10 minutes of anyone's day, in my opinion. This is going to be my new 'small gift' to have on hand for anyone at anytime.

Summary: A book to savor and return to over and over
Review: I started reading a borrowed copy of this. Now I can't wait to have one I own and keep it close at hand. Each 2-3 page essay presents an idea for finding the balance and joy that most of us seek in our lives. There are 75 of these concepts in the book and it covers many of the irritations of modern life.
For example, one discusses coexisting gracefully with the unresolved. One titled "Stand on Ceremony" talks about elevating activities to a ceremonial level to enrich your daily routine.
Another seems mundane, "Make the Bed," but she writes about the standard that sets for your day and the reader sees how a small action makes a difference in life. The examples she gives are very applicable to ordinary working people.
What a great book! I'm anxious to sample her other titles also.

Summary: Secrets of a Charmed Life Revealed
Review: Life is what you make of it and most of our lives look like a great big 'To Dos' list, not exactly what makes a charming life. This author is gifted with words and delicately points out areas where small changes can greatly enhance the quality of day-to-day living. The book is not short on suggestions either, just pick up the thick tome. Definitely a worthy book for women who want to find charms in their lives. The treats are there; it's up to you to pull them out from the muck of everyday and let them shine. Share this book with your friends; they'll thank you.

Summary: Charmed Life will Charm You . . .
Review: Lovely book that truly inspired me. Victoria Moran is a great asset to the human race. Thank God for her. Her other books, "Body Confident" and "Lit from Within" are also brilliant, but I have them all.
I saw Ms. Moran on Oprah and have gone to see her speak. Wonderfully moving and inpsiring speaker. I can't wait for her new book that is due out any day!

Summary: This book is an upper for your mind and body.
Review: This volume is a treat for women and men of all ages. Victoria Moran gently challenges you to look inside yourself and to find out who is at home. Hopefully you will love the person you find inside yourself. In this book, you are offered the opportunity to expand your horizons and find the "fun" that you may have been overlooking while "caring for everyone else". The segments are manageable so that even with the busiest schedule, you can take 2-3 minutes at the start and at the close of your day to TREAT yourself. Victoria Moran is a delightful person, as well as talented writer. This book is a wonderful gift to give your best friend, hopefully yourself or your spouse, as well as your other friends and family members. Don't miss out on the opportunity to create your own "Charmed Life".
