This small book illuminates a big idea, sharing simple, profound truths for joyful living. Alexandra Stoddard, a mother, grandmother, and noted lifestyle philosopher, helps readers cut to the heart of what's important in these brief, wise essays on essential principles worth living by.

Touching on the many textures of existence, accessible and timely, these are insights from a woman who has truly lived and learned -- and found happiness along the way.
