Text of the page (random words):
the lds culture but now there are entire stakes filled with single adults in this book author kylee shields explains how you can make the most of your single life even if your current situation isn t what you expected make it happen is a collection of principles blog entries stories and conversations had on couches floors kitchen tables and at many single adult gatherings it is filled with practical ways to make changes in your life find hope increase faith strengthen relationships and build the kingdom review make it happen is an inspirational self help book designed to help lds singles find happiness in a marriage oriented culture kylee incorporates quotes doctrines action questions and real life experiences to illustrate the principles and ideas she is trying to convey even though i am not single myself i have a lot of wonderful friends and family members who are and who are struggling to find happiness as an lds single however the great thing about this book is that it is not just meant for singles it can be applied to any person in any stage of life there were so many topics covered in make it happen everything from being in a healthy relationship all the way to how to make better use of your scripture study time they are simple concepts that most of us have already heard however they are also explained and illustrated in a way that makes them seem doable these are some of my favorite concepts outlined in the book make it happen of course as per the title the entire book revolves around the principle that whatever we want in this life we can obtain by simply making it happen not to say that this is easy however by making the decision to try we can take charge of our life and make positive changes the make it happen concept is nothing new it simply is what it implies it s making things happen in your life not hoping things will happen or waiting for others to make things happen in your life it s figuring out what you want and going after it p 46 life is meant to be happy sometimes we forget that even though this life is supposed to be a trial we are also supposed to find joy in the journey kylee encourages readers to find what makes them happy and to go for it in order to be happy in your present circumstances you must believe believe you are meant to be happy in this life and the life to come believe god has a perfect plan for you believe you matter to those who know you believe you have a specific purpose and that you can live up to your potential believe you are loved and act accordingly believe and if for some reason you cannot then borrow my belief in you for a few moments p 173 be okay with who you are even though this book encourages positive change it also inspires readers to be happy with who they are i love how kylee uses a story to illustrate this principle about how her sister loved herself even after her body changed through pregnancy i can totally relate i like how she knew she could be ashamed or hide her post pregnancy belly but instead she loved herself that belly represented her labor of love i wish we could all be a little kinder to ourselves sure most of us could afford to lose a little weight spend more time at the gym eat less or at least eat healthier but in the end no matter how we look we should love who we are p 170 and i could go on and on while i was reading the book i copied down passages that i really liked and by the end i had over 3 pages of quotes one of the best parts of this book is that the author not only tells you that you can change but she also tell you how to go about doing it using her own real life experiences she doesn t claim to have all the answers who does but shares her own stories in the hopes it will be of benefit to someone else make it happen is an

review about the book title the treasure of isian author serena clarke release date september 2012 publisher red mountain shadows publishing genre romance fantasy received ebook from the author for review prince garin is a brave proud adventure seeking prince elani is his most trusted servant and she would do anything for him even die for him their quest to find the mystical treasure of isian is immediately interrupted and they find themselves confronted by angry giants soul stealing elves bewitched dragons a vengeful water witch battling foes and a mysterious kingdom elani must face her greatest fears to save her prince and her kingdom garin must decide what the most important things are in his life will they be able to make a great sacrifice to save the kingdom and will elani find true love become lost in the adventure love loyalty and mystery of the treasure of isian sample chapter review i would probably classify the treasure of isian as a fairy tale novel even though it has elements of fantasy it isn t bogged down by over descriptive details as books in this genre usually are it is written in simple straightforward language which helps to keep the plot moving and makes for a quick fast paced read elani was a very impressive character her devotion and loyalty to prince garin were unparalleled even when it was not reciprocated and her faith allowed her to believe in their relationship despite garin s ambivalence these traits not only helped her romantically but also assisted her in making an important journey of self discovery i also really enjoyed the evolution of prince garin s character most heroes are perfect in everything they do which is definitely not realistic but in the treasure of isian prince garin starts out as self centered shallow and spoiled i loved watching how elani s devoted love helped him recognize his faults and become someone who was worthy of her affection in the end one other element of this book that i liked was how there were many different connotations to the title the theme of treasure was applied to a number of things over the course of the story but the underlying message was always that we should recognize and not overlook the most valuable treasures in life the treasure of isian is full of mystery adventure and romance it is an enchanting fairy tale that will appeal to readers of all ages about the author
