Book excerpt: BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Sandra Kring's A Life of Bright Ideas. Wisconsin, 1961. Evelyn “Button” Peters is nine the summer Winnalee and her fiery-spirited older sister, Freeda, blow into her small town–and from the moment she sees them, Button knows this will be a summer unlike any other. Much to her mother’s dismay, Button is fascinated by the Malone sisters, especially Winnalee, a feisty scrap of a thing who carries around a shiny silver urn containing her mother’s ashes and a tome she calls “The Book of Bright Ideas.” It is here, Winnalee tells Button, that she records everything she learns: her answers to the mysteries of life. But sometimes those mysteries conceal a truth better left buried. And when a devastating secret is suddenly revealed, dividing loyalties and uprooting lives, no one–from Winnalee and her sister to Button and her family–will ever be the same.

Book excerpt: A secret tore best friends Evelyn “Button” Peters and Winnalee Malone apart. Now, nearly a decade later, a secret brings them back together. Nine years ago Button and Winnalee began recording observations in their Book of Bright Ideas, a tome they believed would solve the mystery of how to live a mistake-free life. Now it’s 1970, a time of peace, love, war, and personal heartbreak. Button’s mother is dead and her grieving father has all but abandoned his children. Quiet, thoughtful Button has traded college for a sewing job in her mother’s bridal shop to help her Aunt Verdella raise her whirlwind six-year-old brother. In Button’s free time, she writes letters to the boy she loved from afar through high school, hoping he will come to love her as more than a friend. Then, like that magical Wisconsin summer of ’61, Button is greeted with the wild, gusty arrival of Winnalee. Now a beautiful flower child, Winnalee is everything Button is not. She’s been to Woodstock and enjoys “free love,” but their steadfast bond of friendship is tested as Button begins to notice the cracks in Winnalee’s carefree façade. And then Winnalee’s mother arrives with a surprise that Button never sees coming, and the fiery determination to put things right in both families once and for all.

Download or read book My Bright Ideas Journal written by Galina St George and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas are a fleeting thing. They come and go quickly. Sometimes they are just like a bolt of lightning - strike us when we least expect it or are prepared for it. Mine come most often when I am in bed or on the go and have nothing at hand to record them. I often promise to myself that I'll remember and will write it down when I can. And of course, when I am ready and have a pen and paper at hand, the idea is on its way into the quantum field where it came from in the first place. So now I have a book for ideas at my bedside and in my bag to make sure that I do remember those bright ideas. My other issue is taking action on those ideas. An idea is pointless if no action is taken to bring it to life. Of course, not everything that we think of in the middle of the night deserves further action. However, there are some gems that do. But how many of us act upon our bright thoughts? I know that if I don't put it on paper, plan out a course of action and follow through with it, my wonderful idea will die, just like many of its sisters before that. This is why I have decided to make a planning and execution journal for bright ideas. Ideas which we don't act upon are just that - ideas and dreams. Make sure that whatever bright thought comes to you in the middle of the night or in fact any time of the day at least gets a chance of a life!
