53 Smiles: 53 Special Moments In Life's Exquisite Simplicity: 1

This book has many uses: An exquisitely simple gift For daily meditations For personal/spiritual development workshops For teaching children (of any age) life lessons As a coffee table book A conversation starter and To remind you of who you are each day - simply exquisite! Ive collected the images appealing to my twisted sense of humour over many years and the words came about a little weirdly too ... in 2015 I heard about a local (Brisbane) competition for flash fiction something Id never heard of before. It was for the best short story under 50 words. I didnt win the competition and knowing that nothing is wasted and everything counts I asked my muses why I had done this. Three days later the thought occurred that I could write a book of short stories. Since I was born in 1953 I - or was it my muses? - decided to write a book of 53 53-word stories ... and here they are for your enjoyment matched with the image that best fits each story. Enjoy! Short and to the point yet insightful. The stories within can be read at face value but if contemplated at depth can provide insights to the spirit of who we are as humans. Like the signposts in life hopefully the stories contained in 53 words can help you move in a direction and place to finding joy. Some are comical some are not but all provide the reader with a plethora of ideas to ponder. Julian Harvey career consultant A collection of 53 smiles just as the title promises. Some make you think some have endings which surprise and others make you laugh out loud. In todays world of constant hustle and bustle this is a short and thought-provoking read. The stories are written with care creativity and utilising strong descriptors which immediately draw in the reader. An enjoyable collection of stories! Tia Mitsis author of A Greek Odyssey. This book is thought provoking to the reader and causes them to question what is happening for them. The wording is poetic and beautifully written. This book is best delved into rather than being read from cover to cover and is less about being entertained and more about being challenged to grow personally. The writer shows understanding and maturity. Anna Louise life coach at
