Book Cover & Preview Text
Money doesn't buy you happiness, but it does buy you options for it.
There are two sides to every story, and somewhere in the middle is the truth.
If people really knew what others thought of them, they would move to another state or country.
The most attractive virtue in humans is humility.
A gentleman is truly a gentle man.
Real class is total understatement.
The more natural a food is, the better it is for you.
A good reputation is the most valuable thing a person can own.
I like to invest my money in memories; I can take those with me when I die.
Living in harmony with plants, animals and humans, respecting Mother Nature and dying with as few regrets as possible is my life's goal.
Some people think they have graduated from the University of Everything.
Where do birds go during a hurricane?
A smile is the universal language.
Eating well is one of life's better rewards, but I do believe a lot of people use food as a crutch, and in many cases, obsession.
I have witnessed that most people's dysfunctional behavior stems from insecurity. A lot of them are overwhelmed by life and scared to death of it.
I love and have loved a lot of people, but there are very few I truly respect.
The scoundrels in life are the most interesting and the ones that make the headlines, but the good, decent, everyday people make the world go 'round.

About the Book
Blonde Ponderings of Carol:
I have had 28 jobs and have lived and worked in 3 states. My mother and I have traveled the planet for the past 20 years and have been in almost every major city in the world. I have met and known hundreds of people and have gleaned something from each and every one of them; be it good, bad or indifferent. I must have a real different memory, because I never forget something someone says. All these thoughts have been in my head for so long, I figured I must put them on paper. This is a compilation of what I have learned, felt and wondered. I published this book for my friends and family as my legacy to them. I wanted it to be a "bathroom book" to give them a chuckle from the ditzy blonde.
