A Grandmother’s Wisdom is Timeless Advice

Napa Valley author, Kal Edwards has compiled a unique collection of practical advice passed down by his wise Grandmother. This common-sense wisdom will help readers discover their own “recipe” for success, both personally and professionally.

Napa, CA (PRWEB) September 25, 2006 -- The best advice is the simplest advice. This is the tenet that fills the pages of the highly-anticipated book “Grandmother’s Wise Recipes for Success: Time Tested Wisdom for Directing Your Work and Personal Life” (ISBN 1412080541), by Napa Valley author, Kal Edwards.

Rummaging through an old trunk in an attempt to scale down family possessions, Edwards came across his Grandmother’s prized cookbook. Flipping through the pages, Edwards discovered written in the margins, words of wisdom that his Grandmother often talked about while she baked in her kitchen. For the Edwards family, the kitchen was and still is the center for family discussion. So, what better place to re-discover wisdom?

“Grandmother’s Wise Recipes for Success” is not a cookbook, but rather a thought provoking series of “recipes” for daily success. The inspiring messages provide a winning combination of motivation and plan for managing life more successfully. How many of us really know how to listen well, or design our life to work successfully? Do we know how to plan for change? Lead others effortlessly? Handle daily problems with less stress? Interact with customers efficiently?

Common challenges are answered through old-time wisdom in “Grandmother’s Wise Recipes for Success.” A saying such as “Cream always rises to the top” gives readers a lesson in leadership, or “Nothing ventured, nothing gained” is sage advice for planned risks and rewards. “Everything old can be new again” gives a plan to deal with change in each season of our lives.

“I realized a growing need for people of all ages to re-connect with good old-fashioned common-sense wisdom,” says Edwards. “In this busy, often impersonal electronic age, many of us are busy multi-tasking and have forgotten how to simply stop and listen to what the past has to tell us.” The insights found in “Grandmother’s Wise Recipes for Success” can make anyone more effective in their lives, relationships, and professional pursuits. Times may be changing, yet a Grandmother’s wisdom is timeless.

Kal Edwards grew up in Oshkosh, WI, and spent many days in his Grandmother's kitchen as she baked delicious treats while sharing wisdom about one's purpose in life. Edwards went on to a varied career in communications, career and management development, and community relations in California wine country. Edwards now resides in Napa, CA and consults on customer perception management issues, and is researching and developing methods to serve an ever-growing population with retirement renewal. “Grandmothers Wise Recipes for Success” can be purchased at online bookstores.
