Ep #10 Lessons from Pollyanna
Show Notes
Today’s episode is special because it’s my tenth episode—woo hoo! cue the confetti!—and because I am talking about a book that is near and dear to my heart. You know how sometimes the right book comes along at the right time and it’s, well, . . . transformational. That’s what Pollyanna was for me, and I think after you listen to this episode, you will be rushing to the library or bookstore to snag your own copy.

Although this episode is a departure from the way I usually teach, I hope you will be inspired by this honest discussion of hardship and of faith and of how one book can change your perspective on everything.
In it, I discuss
· How our culture completely misses the mark about what it means to be a “Pollyanna”
· How playing one particular game can completely change your life
· What it means to “Pollyanna” a situation and how having that perspective can help you find joy in adversity
· How having a “Pollyanna attitude” has helped me in my personal struggles with recent sickness and surgery
Intrigued? I hope so. You won’t want to miss this episode.
