Wisdom From Others: 7 Life Lessons From Candy Cane Day (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781724195029)

What if one simple tradition could teach you seven profound life lessons?

Every December, sisters Donita M. Brown and Danielle Taylor gather their family at a Nashville mall for Candy Cane Day-a tradition started secretly by their father, Ken, years ago. Armed with bags of candy canes, they spend the morning offering small gifts to retail workers, strangers, and anyone who crosses their path.

It sounds simple. Almost too simple.

But over the years, this humble tradition has taught them lessons about courage, boundaries, generosity, and what it really means to see another person. Lessons about doing hard things even when you're scared. Lessons about giving without keeping score. Lessons about planting seeds you may never see grow.

This is the second edition-deeper, more honest, and tested by six more years of practice.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why authentic generosity requires internal work before external action
• How perfectionism often masks fear and prevents meaningful connection
• What it means to respect boundaries while staying openhearted
• Why being brave looks different for everyone (and that's okay)
• How small, consistent acts of kindness create compound effects over time

Written in the sisters' alternating voices, this book offers both personal family stories and universal insights about building traditions that matter. Whether you're searching for simplicity during the holidays or inspiration to create your own meaningful tradition, Wisdom From Others: 7 Lessons From Candy Cane Day invites you to consider: What would your version look like?

Perfect for anyone who wants to give with intention, show up with courage, and make the holidays-and life-more meaningful.
