Everyday MAGIC: The Joy of Not Being Everything and Still Being More Than Enough by Mattie James Book Review

In Everyday MAGIC, Mattie James had written a book to assist readers in shifting their mindset and to discover peace and joy in every day. She is an influencer, blogger, wife, mother, and a winner of Miss Liberia USA. She started her own companies, The Mattie James Company and BOSSFLUENCE. She mainly focuses on helping woman to thrive and to live a life that brings them joy. She uses an acronym: magic which stands for meaningful, aesthetically pleasing, goal-oriented, intentional, and consistent. She explained how we don’t have to live up to everyone expectations and be everything to everyone. She begins the book by sharing how important it is to envision our life and living in our purpose. She encouraged readers to create a magic memo and to write down a manifesto of our lives. She instructs readers to also create them a mission statement and this will allow us to learn who we are and what goals we want to achieve. She also explored self-care, organizing your house, decluttering, creating family moments and traditions, and much more. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to any women who are seeking a book to assist them in navigating and crafting joy in day to day living. I immensely liked how she shared about how she came to know Christ. She even explained in detail about her health issues and her struggles with starting a family. Sometimes doctors don’t have the final say! I liked the idea of a weekly screen time fast that they do as a family starting on Friday night until Saturday. This included everything from TV to iPhone to iPad. This forces everyone to bond and enjoy activities together. I also liked how she provided tips to declutter and organize your home and making it easier to find things. I appreciated how she explained the importance of self-care on a weekly or bi-weekly basis and I think this will help us to relax and rejuvenating.
