Book Review: Too Blessed to be Stressed by Debora Coty

Well you knew as soon as you saw the book title, like I did, that it just HAD to be reviewed on this blog, right? 


Synopsis: Do your to do lists have footnotes? (can I get an HUGE Amen to this one?) Has your family suggested a rabies shot because your bite has surpassed Rover's?


Maybe it's time for a healthy dose of truth gift-wrapped in humor. With her own offbeat brand of wit and near-wisdom, inspirational humorist Debora Coty addresses the heart-needs of desperate women drowning in the churning everyday stress-pool of busyness.

In this book, you'll find simple, practical steps for attaining the peace that you crave as you struggle with the stresses of finances, health, career, relationships, self-image and family. You'll discover healing, refreshment, and revitalization for your own spirit, body and mind through heart-changing real life stories, biblically based insights, and short chapters for on-the-run convenience.

Review: Repeat after me, I have to buy this book for myself, and EVERY mother I know, all my friends and family included. OK, so read this review first, then go buy them all a copy- I;d say wait til Christmas, but seriously? After the back-t-school, oh-no the holidays are upon us, they can probably use it NOW!


I read this entire book in one sitting while waiting with Dad for his doctor appointment. Super quick read? Well sorta, but more like I was devouring it as every chapter hit home- for example: "Chocolate Makes My Jeans Shrink (but keeps me sane)", "Cobwebs in my Mopbucket", Nuts in the Batter" (dealing with difficult people). 


Debora starts off with chapters on Time Management (aka Superwoman has LEFT the building), which pretty much boil down to pick your priorities, and destress yourself. Then she goes to chapters on developing a sense of humor in everyday life. Then chapters on cultivating relationships and focusing on faith. Each chapter starts with a bible quote, then Debora's writing, and then ends with secular quote. She then has de-com stress questions, to make you think about each chapter and how it can apply to you.


I found myself laughing out loud alot and nodding my head in agreement even more as I read this book! This would be the perfect book for a woman's bible or support group. Debora teaches you to BREATHE, relax and let go and let God. Sometimes you have to NOT being superwoman to achieve a higher purpose! I can't wait to read her next book, "More Beauty, Less Beast" due out next year, and will definitely be picking up her other books!

  1. Great review! It seems to be a great book. I saw it yesterday on a website called all you can books but I haven't downloaded it because I've never heard about Debora M. Coty and I did't know if it worth to read it.
