Gratitude with Attitude: How Journaling Thankfulness for Just 5 Minutes a Day Can Change Your Life

From the first time she was handed a blank piece of paper and a crayon, Ronnie Walter knew what she wanted to do for a living-draw pictures and tell stories! Following a rambling education at art school, a MN state university, and a stint in England, she finally figured out how to do just that! She has been a successful artist and writer for over twenty years. Her words and illustrations have been used for books, fabric, home accessories, gift items, and more greeting cards than she can count.Ronnie's current passion is the creation and publication of The Coloring Café? coloring series. The popular Coloring Cafe books are challenging yet fun volumes of illustrations, sayings and patterns to color-perfect for stress relief and just plain fun. More information is available on the website at www.thecoloringcafe.com. Also be sure to stop by the Coloring Cafe Facebook page for all the news, fun photos from coloring events and occasional giveaways!Bestselling author Marianne Richmond has touched the lives of millions over the past two decades through her delightful picture books that give voice to the heart and help you connect with the people you love.For 16 years, Marianne ran her own publishing company, winding down in 2010 to make way for a partnership with Sourcebooks, Inc., one of the leading and largest independent publishers in North America.
