self-improvement, reflection and enlightenment. Holly Elissa weaves
together stories, practical examples, quotes and reflective

humour threads throughout this little gem of a book as she tackles
the hard subjects like change, failure, and conflict in both
confronting and deeply reflective ways.--Toni Christie, Childspace

Education This book is a kind spirited and good-hearted exploration
of second chances that is beautifully focused on the needs and
challenges of educators. If you've ever felt in need of a do-over,
this book can help you find the questions and answers to make it
very worthwhile, and the mindset and attitude that make it
possible.--Rick Kirschner, Keynotes, Training, Coaching, The Art Of
Change LLC The Comfort of Little Things: An Educator's Guide to
Second Chances blends a discussion about leadership with one of
educational development, shares the author's personal story and
blends it with advice from the educational and neuroscience fields,
and offers research-backed stories and examples paired with
reflection questions to consider how to integrate spiritual and
professional ideals with an educator's growth and teaching process.

that Holly Elissa Bruno's approach is so wide-ranging makes it a
surprisingly easy read, perfect for busy educators who want a
pointed yet accessible survey.--The Bookwatch: September 2015, The
