Turning lemons to lemonade means getting something sweet from life’s sour moments. It’s a statement of hope and a motto for the positive. If truly embraced, this idea of making the most of every experience can transform from an occasional habit into a way of life.
From Lemons to Lemonade is Glenda Haskell’s account of making positivity a lifestyle. This collection of honest and heartfelt stories captures Haskell’s definitive effort to learn from life’s trying moments and to pinpoint the thoughts and actions behind the good ones.
Examining everyday incidents and encounters from her own lifetime, Haskell gleans profound lessons that can tend to escape anything but the closest scrutiny. From memories of the mundane—such as chipping a tooth and cross-country skiing—to recollections of deeply moving circumstances—such as valued friendship and the loss of a loved one—Haskell frames her experiences within seven interlocking themes of letting go, making choices, facing challenges, finding gratitude and compassion, creating good habits, practicing self-care, and developing a love for life.
This inspirational collection of personal essays encourages readers to examine everything life has to offer, the good as well as the bad, to find the lessons tucked within.
