books

Hi there!  I’m Carol Chenot. Happy to give you a little glimpse into who I am and how these books came about.  You see, for most of my life I’ve kept a written journal in one form or another.  Sometimes it took the form of a daily planner. At other times it was simply a list of things to be grateful for.  And in still other seasons I would write a narrative that was essentially a record of my life.  

I find that putting my thoughts down on paper has a certain magic to it.  It helps me to notice!  Notice the blessings around me and the positive things life has to offer.  For me, it’s also been a way to clarify my thinking and look at what lies ahead.  Even my checklists are not a list of accomplishments as much as a “record of events”. 

Embracing technology is also definitely a passion of mine. I’m what you call an ‘early adopter’!  But I find that there’s something about pen and paper that is ultimately satisfying ~ and that’s why I want to share my portfolio of notebooks, journals and planners with you.  

There is no ‘right way’ to use a notebook (in my opinion).  If it’s for lists – great.  If it’s to note what someone else is saying so you can remember it – even better. If it’s to commemorate an event, I applaud you.  Whatever it is, I hope you’ll find the touch that each Positivity Plus book brings is one that makes you smile and embrace your blessings as well. 

Low Content books are those books that other people write in, like Journals and Log Books.

Medium Content books are books like Activity Books or Coloring Books.  They are also designed for the buyer to write in them. 

So, when I say I “design” a book – it’s the format of the book and the design of the cover that I create.   

I’m a firm believer that optimism shapes our outlook on life, and therefore our results.  All of life is definitely not rosy, but I try to infuse as much as I can with an optimistic outlook. 

So I’ve included a Positivity Plus Touch with each book. Many times it will be sayings or quotes at the bottom of each page.  Or perhaps it’s Scriptures or a Word of the Week.  Sometimes it may simply be the cover design.  But each Positivity Plus Touch should bring a smile and some optimistic focus to your day. 

The books I’ve designed are actually published and sold by Amazon.  So you get the benefit of free (Prime) shipping and discounts when ordering from their website. 

This also means that I do not have to keep an inventory of books on hand, and I can be spending my time creating more options for YOU. 

My prices are, of course, listed on Amazon. And they’re generally quite consistent.   Unless I have added a lot of content, the paperbacks typically follow this pattern: 

• 4 x 6 – $5.99
• 5 x 8 – $6.99
• 6 x 9 – $7.99
• 8 x 10 – $8.99
