So it was no surprise when a friend gave me The Little Book of Calm for my last birthday. {read the blurb on the back cover. ‘Feeling stressed?" itasked, ‘Need some help to regain balance in your life? The Little Book of Calm is full of advice to follow and thoughts to inspire. Open it at any page and you will find a path to inner peace.” So | opened it at any page and read the advice: ‘Wear white." Wear white! I haven’t worn white since my first child was born. This is not good advice for someone who has to deal with young children and their dirty fingers every day. [turned to another page. ‘Take a lesson in calmness from children. Watch how children live every moment for the pleasure of the moment’ Do you know my. children? When one of them is screaming, ‘Aargh! he's pulling my hair!” and the other is screaming, ‘She's taken. imy sweets!’, the feeling | get is not calmness. ‘WVlake an appointment with yourself to deal with.

In fact, my voice is getting louder every day. I decided to try once more. ‘Rediscover milk.’ No problem. | love milk and I drink it all the time ... with a shot of strong Italian espresso coffee in it, of course. 2 Are these sentences true or false? a) Before seeing the video, Sally thought she was a calm sort of person. b).
