Welcome to the Wendy Woo series of books !

Wendy Woo is ‘me’ as my friends and family know me. Wendy Steele is ‘me’ too, with my author hat on but when I’m sharing my life with you, I’m writing as Wendy Woo.

The first book available by Wendy Woo is

Wendy Woo’s Year – A Pocketful of Smiles – 101 ideas for a happy year and a happy you

Once upon a time, two eleven year old girls made a pact of friendship. One left school at sixteen while the other stayed on to study. The friendship remained. One went abroad while the other stayed at home. Years passed, marriage and children followed and the friendship continued to flourish via letters and video messages.

After twenty nine years the girls were reunited and the friendship sparked with renewed love and affection. Three months later, one friend was diagnosed with cancer. Nine months later, she died.

I was the girl who lived and I made a promise to live my life for two and make sure that every day included a smile in memory of my beautiful friend.

It isn’t easy and I don’t claim to hold the key to a life of everlasting happiness but, the ideas in ‘A Pocketful of Smiles’ are used or have been used by me and have brought smiles and happiness to my life.

‘A Pocketful of Smiles’ is about being happy, irrespective of the challenges life brings.

We can all recall odd days, maybe even weeks where we felt happy but each single day is a precious gift so, why not be happy every day?

Before I knew what karma was, I’d been brought up with the adage ‘do as you would be done by’ so, thinking of others plays a role in this book.

It’s the little things in life that make it special so this is a book of little things.

‘A Pocketful of Smiles’ is set out month by month, following the seasons but feel free to dip in and out as you wish.

Many of the ideas take just ten minutes so by allocating a tiny amount of time, you can carry a smile with you throughout the day.
