My Mama Used To Say ...
Wisdom Gems To Empower Every Woman’s Soul
My mother handed down to me some old wisdom
gems to help me navigate my way through life
especially when dealing with hard knocks.
They have helped me to overcome many of life’s
issues, including single parenting, depression,
bureavement, relationship break-ups, debt,
unemployment, redundancy, motherhood, etc.
I trust that these wisdom gems will enable you
to bounce back and get on with your life too.

My Mama Used To Say ...
Wisdom Gems To Empower Every Woman’s Soul
This book is filled with wisdom gems that my Mum shared with me, whilst she
was alive, and although she is no longer with me, her words linger on inside.
Today I am truly grateful as these sayings have truly kept me going, despite
experiencing the hard knocks of life. After ending up in hospital from a nervous
breakdown—the phrase ―every disappointment is a blessing‖ helped me through
tremendously. When I had full blown depression the thing that kept me hopeful
was ―as one door closes another will open‖ and the other was ―if there is a will,
you will find a way”. These wisdom gems has enabled me to bounce
back against all odds. I am hoping that this little book will do the same
for you. Get back up! Get back out there! Get on with your life!
