Do your to do lists have footnotes? Has your fam suggested a rabies shot because your bite has surpassed Rover’s?
I just finished your book, Too Blessed To Be Stressed. It is by far one of the most impactful and uplifting books I have read in a long time. I can’t wait to read your other offerings and feel I have found a real treasure in your way of communicating God’s promises and a fresh perspective on dealing with stress. Thank you so much!

Wendi’s Book Corner ~ Rainy Day Reads in Seattle? What a powerful and helpful book! We women tend to jump into things with 100% of our hearts and souls, to the point that life sometimes completely stresses us out (of our own doing). With a wonderful sense of humor, Debora Coty helps us work through some important key areas that will help us through these tough times. I think this book would be a great devotional. I highly recommend this book! (And I’ll probably give it as a gift to at least one or two of the special stressed-out women in my life).

Abi at 4 the LOVE of BOOKS She’s back. Debora M. Coty, with her wit and charm and more lessons for us women to learn. We live in fast paced society and I have much needed these lessons of time management, developing a sense of humor, cultivating relationships and focusing on my Faith. They are just the encouragement that I needed at this time in my life and I’m sure other women need them too. Thanks Debora for sharing with women all over the world pieces of your life that you have learned from so we too may learn.

Carol’s Corner I love this book! It’s a fun-light hearted way to address issues of stress that all women deal with. I love how the author intertwines faith and humor. The stores are short with questions at the end to help you dive deeper into these issues. I think this book is a must have for every woman. It helps us remember to laugh and to look to God and our faith when we are stressed. I am going to get this book for my girlfriends. I give this book a five out of five stars.

Sharon?’s Garden of Book Reviews? Debora Coty breaks down the chapters into 40 bitefuls of advice, inspiration and humor, and includes hilarious ancedotes and personal stories, along with some really good information on handling stress. Know someone who’s a little stressed out? (ok, that’s most of us these days!) This is the perfect book to give to nudge them into finding a little peace in their lives! I highly recommend this book!

Heidi at Starts At Eight In each chapter Debora offers up a relatable story with some humor and advice. Stress is currently my middle name so this was the perfect quick read for me! One of my favorites of hers was when she suggested that you add yourself to your own “to-do” list! I chuckle just thinking about it! She suggests giving yourself 15 minutes twice a day to revive, regroup, and regenerate. A practical idea, and an ironic way to do it!

Valerie at Let’s Just Give It Away Debora brings a great sense of humor to this book and is written in a way that we can all relate to. The stories are the stories that you would share with your girlfriends. These stories will have you thinking that this book is written about you. There are tons of great and simple things that you can to become less stressed. At the end of each chapter is a section titled “Let’s Decom-stress” which offers activities or asks questions that will help you get rid of stress. Coty focuses on God or Papa God as she calls him in her book, to help us release our worries and stress. This is a great book to read and makes a great gift for any stressed out women you know. I really enjoyed this book and I love the tips I have learned and feel less stressed.

I laughed out loud, chuckled, did a lot of head nodding in agreement, and closed the cover realizing that I am one of many women who are just too hard on themselves sometimes. Containing forty devotionals, each begins with a scripture verse and ends with a thought-provoking quote and questions for the reader. Her devotionals are full of personal stories she shares with a lot of humor.
With an off-beat wit, she addresses heart needs of women to bring healing, refreshment, and revitalization of spirit, body, and faith. I believe ladies church or mother’s groups would benefit from this truth wrapped humor book.

“What a DELIGHT to read! This book has given me more chuckles than I can remember in quite some time. Totally relatable – real, down-to-earth experiences shared in a humorous light – this book makes perfect sense to me! Whether you read this as a devotional – or daily encouragement - or just so you can crack up laughing while reading it in your doctor’s waiting room so everybody stares at you wondering “what’s so funny?” —this book makes for a GREAT read! If you are stressed AT ALL – grab this book. You’ll be giggling ‘cuz you did!”

I seriously LOVE this book. Coty uses real life situations, scriptural references, a good dose of humor and finally a short set of questions at the end of each chapter to allow you to not only think about what you just read but apply what you read (learned) to your daily life.
A few quotes that really stood out to me (Paraphrased! You’ll have to read the book for the real goodies!):
~ “We are all just a phone call away from our knees.”
~ “If you tell yourself “I can’t” then it’s a fact that you won’t. Ever. Instead tell yourself “I will” that becomes even stronger and supersedes the first statement.”
~ “I can’t is one of my newest mantras and one my husband has actually dared me to stop saying. I say it multiple times a day. This entire “lesson” really spoke to me because positive self-talk is not an easy thing for me.”
~ “We must remind ourselves that what-ifs aren’t real. That’s Satan stealing our peace.”
~ “For me this was a great reminder. Those what ifs…they get me absolutely no where. I know that but I can’t think logically once they take hold of my heart.”
~ “Men are a lot like dogs (This is SO my favorite! LOL) They have simple basic needs: Someone to play with them,someone to feed them, to scratch where it itches, gush over them…and GIVE THEM RESPECT.”
So buy the book. Read it. Answer the questions. And realize how very blessed you really are too!

“Short, sweet, to-the-point, and make me laugh” has always been my standard, and you have done just that! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this book! You’re a hero in my eyes, and truly a great role model. It’d be so cool if I had the opportunity to meet you someday.
