Daily Gratitude Reflections: Volume 2
365 Inspirational Daily Guides for Grateful Living
by Deborah Perdue
Genre: Inspirational Nonfiction 

​Imagine having a source of daily inspiration to help you become a HAPPIER, more PEACEFUL, and more POSITIVE person!

This book is chock-full of a variety of inspirational quotes accompanying the author's personal reflections - beautifully designed with full color images to motivate and encourage the reader to incorporate the simple but powerful spiritual practice of gratitude -a habit well worth cultivating to reap the many proven benefits.

Gratitude is the power to transform negative thinking, limited perceptions, low vibration emotions (such as anger, depression, and anxiety ), and how you experience life in general. Peace, joy, and a brighter outlook are natural manifestations of flowing gratitude - bringing a sense of renewed enthusiasm to everyday life.

Uncovering things to be grateful for, especially in challenging times, is a skill most of us need to learn and then practice regularly. Most of us would benefit greatly from having a good example, a wise teacher, and a simple way to practice gratitude each day.

This book is such a guide.

You can pick this book up at any time and begin utilizing gratitude for expediting the manifestation of your highest good.

Gratitude mastered becomes a Super Power of sorts that can transform our perspective and worldview, resulting in more serenity and moments of bliss.

Deborah Perdue has written five books on gratitude. She offers online classes and annual retreats to teach others how to live gratitude in the same manner, she used to transform her own life.

Daily Gratitude Reflections is perfect for inspired, spiritual growth.

This gratitude devotional is a lovely way to immediately begin harnessing the transformational power of living with a grateful heart.

I had never realized how much there is to be grateful for every day. Deborah's Daily Gratitudes helped transform my thinking and fill me with a new sense of wonder. - Kimberly Bowmen

Snippet:
A self-published author and a book designer, Deborah L Perdue is the author of five books. With a B.A. in English, she has been writing ever since childhood. She writes spiritual articles and blog posts on gratitude. She has a daily practice of writing to keep herself engaged and motivated. In her free time, she enjoys taking walks with her dogs, nature, swimming, and artwork.

Deborah, what is your favorite childhood memory?
We were at a good movie. My parents came and told us we had to go. I was mad. It turns out they had brought two horses to us from Utah; we, all 3 daughters, loved horses. So they introduced us to the two beautiful mares. I wasn’t mad anymore that they yanked us out of a movie! (LOL).

What developed your love for writing?
I have always written since I was a young child. Journaling was something I’ve always done. Then, in school, I continued writing and reading wonderful authors. I was in Advanced Placement English in high school and wrote poetry and essays. Eventually, I studied and received a B.A. Cum Laude in English (emphasis: Creative writing), and I’ve been writing ever since.

What makes Gratitude your favorite topic to write about?
I discovered the power of a gratitude practice when a minister gave us all blank journals and told us to write 5 things we were grateful for every day for 40 days and that our lives would change for the better. It worked. My artist Tara Thelen and I created the first Grace of Gratitude Journal with hand drawn watercolors and inspiring thoughts from me, and blank pages to invite the reader to write their own thoughts of thanksgiving. I continue to share gratitude in my books and gratitude journals. Two of my books are 365 Daily Guides to prompt people on what they can be grateful for. I am thankful to the minister who got my creative juices flowing on the topic of gratitutde. It is my heart’s calling. Monday through Friday I send out emailed Daily Gratitude Reflections which you can sign up for at my website’s home page www.graceofgratitude.com. I also send out a monthly e-newsletter. If I’m feeling down, I find that writing my Daily Gratitude Reflection for my gratitude tribe picks up my spirits, without fail.

Which is the best book to start reading habit with?
Wow, how can I pick one?! Pick a genre you like; for instance, I like modern psychological fiction – one author I love is Jodi Picoult. Start there, read all of her works, and then find similar authors.

Your thoughts on conventional vs. self-publishing? What route did you choose and why?
I chose self-publishing because it allows us to have freedom and get our books out there, rather than trying to get a traditional publisher to take notice and take us on.

How much importance do you place on book titles and covers?
I am also a book designer! (www.illuminationgraphics.com)! So, I place more importance than most people on cover design! It is very important to have a professional, powerful book cover. An engaging title is also crucial and good, and it is best when you can put important keywords into a title and/or subtitle too.

In what ways do you think your book, Grace of Gratitude Journal, will influence the lives of its readers?
The Grace of Gratitude Journal has been published for quite a while. I hear from many that it has greatly impacted their lives in beneficial ways to start a gratitude practice using my beautifully illustrated, inspiring journal. Some have said they don’t want to write in it because it is so gorgeous yet that’s its purpose. So I invite everyone who has one to use it.

From where did you get the idea for writing “Daily Gratitude Reflections: 365 Guides to Great-Full Living Volume 2”?
As I said, I have a subscriber list (you can sign up at http://www.graceofgratitude.com). I have been writing thoughts of gratitude Mon-Fri for over 7 years! I picked the cream of the crop in both of my Daily Gratitude Reflections books for these 365 daily guides.

What, according to you, are the key ingredients of a successful book?
I feel the author needs to have passion for their genre. If the author is passionate about their subject/genre, like I am, for the practice of gratitude, the readers will feel the sincerity and react very positively.

What is the sweetest fan mail that you have ever received?
Here is a short one that I particularly love:
“Keep the vibrations of love flowing! The Daily Gratitude Reflections that Deborah Perdue writes and sends daily are deep and wondrous and touch my heart.
-P. Singh

When are you most inspired to write, and what are some things you do to motivate yourself when you’re stuck in a rut?
Since I have a daily practice of writing, that always keeps me engaged and motivated. Like I said, writing daily gratitude reflections always inspires me and uplifts me if I’m feeling stuck.

What were some misconceptions you had about the book and publishing industry before you became a published author?
I didn’t realize that marketing is so important, even if you have a traditional publisher. Your “job” is not over when you are done writing a book. Getting the word out is very important.

What other things, apart from writing, do you enjoy doing?
Taking walks with my dog, nature, swimming, artwork, photography, my book design business, friends and family, and spirituality.

What are some of your plans for the future? Are you working on a new project at the moment?
I plan to write another book about Radical Gratitude. I have started it. I feel there is always something you can find to be grateful for, even when something harrowing happens in your life. I will use examples from myself and others to show how to find gratitude in a tough situation.
