Daily Cornbread

Heart & Soul founding editor Stephanie Stokes Oliver shows African American women how to soothe the soul satisfy the mind and revive the body 365 days a year.. Written in an affirming style that is prescriptive but never preachy fun but not frivolous Daily Cornbread is a day-by-day compendium of Oliver’s creative ideas for leading an enjoyable and fulfilling life. On January 2 for example Oliver suggests taking time out to get happy (do something that makes you happy an hour a day); to schedule a personal retreat; and to develop a strategic plan for the upcoming year.. Reminiscent of Sarah Ban Breathnach’s Simple Abundance and Iyanla Vanzant’s Acts of Faith: Daily Meditations for People of Color but with a special emphasis on nurturing the body as well as the mind Daily Cornbread shows African American women how to make each day better.
