No, this isn't like the movie of the same name with Ashton Kutcher.:-)  It's a new book by Andy Andrews, called "The Butterfly Effect."

This short gift book packs a lot of message into just over 100 pages.  Essentially, it tells you how just one event, no matter how tiny or mundane it seems, can have far reaching implications that you may never even see.

It's based on a theory (paraphrased </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AQuestForRelevance/~3/WobiXxJk67E/book-review-butterfly-effect-by-andy.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Beth)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

"The Boy Who Changed the World" is a new children's book by Andy Andrews.  It is a companion to the gift book "The Butterfly Effect," also by Andy Andrews.

This book tells the story of a young boy, Norman, and what he did that changed the world.  That then leads into the next story of  a second person and makes you wonder if, in fact, that person really changed the world.  More and more stories</atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AQuestForRelevance/~3/uJyxulG-Vco/book-review-boy-who-changed-world-by.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Beth)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Well, mostly.

Part of the reason for the huge funk I have been in recently is that dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a few months ago.  It is very hard news for a daddy's girl to take.
