LETTERS TO MY GRANDDAUGHTERS
Letters to My Granddaughters is an inspirational self-help guide to many of life's most complex and challenging issues, from understanding and celebrating love, to the wisdom of having it all. The topics grew from participant feedback in the author's more than 3000seminars, and are designed to encourage and assist not only her own granddaughters, but all those who search with open hearts and wondering minds for the secrets of life. Each letter/essay is introduced with topical bullet points for ease of use, and all are accompanied by workbook questions for direct application to daily life.
Sample Chapter:
"Once in a very great while, more often if you're incredibly lucky, joy will drop into your life. It may be a simple thing, such as seeing an exceptionally beautiful flower, or it might be one of life's peak experiences, like the birth of a child, that triggers the emotion of joy. Whatever brings it on, take immediate action. Notice it, stop everything else. Breathe it in, listen to it, touch it, taste it, smell it, revel in it, roll around in it, suspend time and ignore everyone else. This is too important for manners, for civilized, polite behavior. Joy is elemental, real, and rare.
When Kesla, the first grandchild, came into this world, I was in San Francisco, attending a meeting of a group I had worked very hard to be welcomed into. We were all so self-important, so potentially powerful, and our meetings so very informative and elegant, that they must have thought I was stupid or crazy, or both, to abandon them in a rush, shouting over my shoulder, “She's just been born!” I ran for the parking lot, raced to Fresno, dashed into the hospital room, and held her for the first time. I remember promising, “Honey, when you're ten, we're going to Paris!”, although I had never had that thought before, and don't remember why I said it. Probably it was some kind of altered mental state, induced by joy..." | |
Amazon.com Editorial Review
Charming, witty, poignant and wise, Letters to My Granddaughters is a book I intend to gift all my gal pals with when they have their first granddaughter.
--Karen Blomain, author of A Trick of Light, co-author of An American Wife
Intimate and inspiring in the spirit of the Chicken Soup series, this savvy guidebook to life is a must-have. Authoritative advice and caring encouragement radiate from each of the brief topical letters, and gain staying power through the inclusion of workbook questions.
--Susan Page, author of Why Talking is Not Enough: 8 loving actions that will transform your marriage.
This inspirational book presents one woman's gathered wisdom on facing the multitude of challenges all of us face in our path to becoming healthy adults. It's a great book for people of all ages, as life is a path of constant learning, growing and seeking new information. I was touched by her honesty and enthusiasm-kudos!

Reviewed by Carol Hoyer for Reader Views
Dr. Trapp has done something we all want to do, not only with our children, but our grandchildren as well. She has authored a wonderful book of wisdom and guidance to her granddaughters on all of our life questions and thoughts.
Some of the areas she has included in her book are love, forgiveness, setting goals and emotions that get in our way. Each lesson comes from over 3000 seminars that the author has given, along with feedback from the audience. Her gentle style, humor and examples are easy-to-read and understand. She also provides questions at the end of each lesson for further thought and action.
The reader not only found Letters to My Granddaughters: Insights and Inspiration for a Life Journey by Linda Abbott Trapp helpful for herself, but it gave her ideas on addressing complicated issues with her own grown children. Everyone who reads this inspiring book can relate to the lessons.

 Dr. Linda Abott Trapp holds a Ph.D. from Iowa State. In her academic
career, Dr. Abbott Trapp has served as faculty at many colleges and
universities, and as a Dean at three: Waldorf College, The Minneapolis
College of Art and Design, and The California School of Professional
Psychology (Fresno campus). Throughout, she continued to publish in
psychology, women's studies, the arts, and business. In 1986 she
established Abbott & Associates, a management consulting and
training firm, which grew rapidly, with over 80% repeat business, and
20% growth each year.
Dr. Abbott Trapp delivered more than 3000
seminars throughout the US and abroad. During this period she authored
a number of newspaper columns and scholarly articles on psychology and
business. She was honored with the Certified Speaking Professional
award by the National Speakers Association, and was a member of
Leadership California.
Participants in Linda's many
seminars frequently spoke about the applicability of the concepts and
strategies discussed in the training sessions to their home and family
life. They often asked "Where's the Book?" Too busy traveling and
teaching then to write more than brief articles, she's happy that now,
in semi-retirement, the book has been born.
Letters to My Granddaughters; Insights and inspiration for a life journey,
contains much of the encouragement and understanding so meaningful to
participants in her seminars. The book combines the insights of
psychology, the guidance of wisdom borrowed from many cultures, and the
experiences of a full life, richly lived, to bear on the questions that
inevitably arise in trying to make sense of life. This book is her
answer to the questions "What would you say? What would you tell those
you love about life- what's important, what's needful, what adds the
zest and depth that makes it all worthwhile? If you only had one chance
to sum it up, what would you say to help them survive pain and
cultivate joy?" |

How are TeleWorkshops Different from Psychotherapy?
1. We only offer education. Our service is not designed for people who need individualized attention, or feel suicidal or homicidal or want our help with their mental illness.
2. In psychotherapy, the clinician can see the person, make a thorough
assessment and offer
specific suggestions. In our teleworkshops, we have no way of knowing if questions submitted are a hoax perpetrated by a prankster or from someone who wants a serious answer.
3. We therefore reserve the right to decline questions. Participation requires adherence to our Service Agreement, Code of Conduct, and Privacy Agreement. In essence, be nice and we will do our best to serve you
4. Unlike psychotherapy, your face will never be seen, you won't get a diagnosis or need to explain anything to anyone. Unlike a radio call-in program, you won't even be
asked to give questions in your own voice. You will not be asked to leave a "voice-print" for somone to use to recognize you. Your question(s) will be submitted through a website and read to the Guest Author by Dr. Maheu. A human being will never see or hear you. All question-asking is automated and electronic.
5. We are not operating as
your mental health providers. We do not know you, or pretend to know
your specific circumstances. We do not intend to give you specific advice or direction.
If you are under the care of a physician or
mental health practitioner, please print out this page and
show them our offerings, then lyour treating professionals help you decide if this
experience is appropriate for you.
Participation is at your own discretion. Join at your own risk.
TeleWorkshops are the PERFECT SOLUTION for people only needing education! Sit back in the comfort of your own home, alone or surrounded by your family and friends and ask all the questions you want. We will do our best to answer every relevant topic in the time we have.
I can ask questions anonymously? Sign me up!
