About this audiobook
"To keep a lamp burning, we have to put oil in it."- Mother Teresa. This simple quote says it all. Do you put oil in your own lamp?
Take care of yourself, you have heard it before, but are you doing it? This book will inspire you to take care of yourself to live a better life.
Oil for Your Lamp is the perfect book for women who want to glow, sparkle and shine!
Mother Teresa said, "To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it." Most women are so busy filling the lamps of the people they love that they let their own lamps run low. They spend so much time and energy taking care of their children, husbands, aging parents, friends, neighbors, bosses, coworkers, and others, that they often neglect themselves.
This new book, Oil for Your Lamp, is about women learning to take care of themselves first - not last. Written by "Femail Creations" catalog founder Lisa Hammond and inspirational author, poet, and storyteller BJ Gallagher, this wonderful new book speaks to women of all ages, from all walks of life. Here at Simple Truths, we celebrate women who light up the world ... and we want to lovingly remind them to keep their own lamps filled. Oil for Your Lamp is the perfect book for women who want to glow, sparkle, shine, and dazzle!
