WisdomNews is a free e-mail message that comes out Monday through Friday. The format is simple. Each week we have a theme, or a topic. I find quotes about the topic from people throughout the world, and throughout history, and then I comment on how we can use this wisdom in our lives right now. It is always fascinating to me that the lessons that people were teaching and learning way back when, are the same lessons that we are learning about today! Some things don't change. The world seems to change all around us, but love is still love, faith is still faith, and wisdom is still wisdom. In this APP, we've arranged the topics alphabetically, so that you can read whichever topics appeal to you at the time. You may choose a topic and read a different quote each day of the week, or let the randomizer choose a daily quote for you! You can also sign up for WisdomNews at my website CoffeyTalk.com to get free messages in your e-mailbox on weekdays. And thank you, our readers and subscribers, for your wisdom. One by one we are learning and growing and helping to make the world a better and brighter place! -Lissa Coffey CoffeyTalk.com FaceBook.com/LissaCoffeyTalk YouTube.com/coffeytalk
