Book excerpt: Choose positive affirmations and take the first step to creating a new and fulfilling life with the trusted guidance of Louise Hay.

You’re always in the process of tending to your garden, and if you do so with care, you’ll find that each day becomes more joyous than the one before it. This newly repackaged edition of Power Thoughts includes 365 daily affirmations, with topics including health, prosperity, friendship, love, forgiveness, self-esteem and many more. ‘By reading these affirmation – one a day, several at a time or just by opening the book at random – you’re taking the first step toward building a more rewarding life… I know you can do it!’ – Louise Hay
