PROFESSIONAL REVIEW
“Happy Great Day® is a radiant and joy-filled work that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. Written with a lyrical, almost musical cadence, the book carries the reader into a space of optimism, healing, and renewal. It belongs in the same inspirational tradition as the works of Dr. Christiane Northrup and Shakti Gawain, blending personal growth, spirituality, and storytelling into an uplifting tapestry.
At the heart of the narrative is Suzana’s journey — a moving account of how one woman confronts and transcends adversity. Her story is not simply a tale of hardship, but of transformation and self-discovery, illustrating how courage and hope can reshape even the most difficult circumstances.
The author complements this central narrative with a series of anecdotes from her vibrant circle of friends. These stories, each unique yet interconnected, enrich the book with diverse perspectives and highlight the power of community, compassion, and shared wisdom.
What makes Happy Great Day® especially engaging is the spirit of joy and gratitude woven throughout. The writing invites the reader not only to witness triumph over adversity but also to embrace the everyday beauty of life. In doing so, the book offers more than inspiration; it serves as a gentle guide toward cultivating a mindset rooted in positivity, resilience, and love.
Whether read as a personal companion for reflection or shared within a group setting, Happy Great Day® has the rare ability to uplift the heart while encouraging deeper thought. It is both a celebration of human connection and a reminder that joy is not merely a fleeting emotion but a practice that can be nurtured, even in the face of challenges.”
“Happy Great Day® Self-Care Habits to Create a Beautiful Life is an EXTRAORDINARY SELF-CARE REFERENCE GUIDE. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The author has an artistic perspective on life. These ideas will plant out-of-the-box seeds of dreams in your mind that you never had before (but should have had!) Buy this book and give it a permanent bedside home. If you enjoyed Julia Cameron’s work (ie. The Artist’s Way), Suzana Ward’s Happy Great Day®: Self-Care Habits to Create a Beautiful Life will be THE UPLIFTING READ THAT CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER.”
“Remember that, even in darkness, you can still learn to fly.” This is a profoundly impactful and spiritually uplifting theme from the book, reflecting on how to navigate the hardships we encounter in life. Reading this step-by-step approach can truly elevate us from our darkest moments to happier days filled with sunshine. Two thumbs up.”
“It left me laughing and feeling more positive about my own crazy life!”
“Happy Great Day® Self-Care Habits to Create a Beautiful Life reminds me of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, with goals and tasks to accomplish each week. I appreciate the synopsis at the beginning of each chapter and the down-to-earth, practical advice.”
“This book was a fantastic gift for a close female friend who needed a reminder that she is amazing!”
“Yes! I am “Aunt Merry Joys” in Happy Great Day®. Since the day Suzana was born, we have had an indescribable closeness. Unimaginable struggles have complicated Suzana’s life. From deeply within, her spiritual nature lifted her from each ‘ditch,’ re-kindled her joyful passion for life and disciplined her to set about on a new path.
The Power that came to Suzana inspired Happy Great Day®. As I read it, I became aware of ths same Power within me. I accepted ownership of my choices and their consequences, visions of ‘what might be,’ and I set about on my own new path.
Thank you, Suzana”
“This is a must-read for any woman who wants to optimize and reclaim her life. Suzana is a gifted writer who makes Happy Great Day® an entertaining, uplifting read that will change your life. Make more of your days happy great days® by reading and following the steps in this book. “

Suzana’s effervescent personality and candid anecdotes make for a compelling read. Her resilience and positivity shine through, insiring readers to adopt a similar outlook. By the end you’ll feel a deep connection to Suzana, like you’ve shared a lifetime of memories.”
“This book is excellently written from a kind yet hurt woman’s heart, with humor, and positive inspiration. The Author’s Happy Great Day®: Self-Care Habits is a must read for prospective rediscovery. Ward redefines the details in a woman’s journey in Chapter 8 “Pay attention to the small details” to appreciate more of one’s surroundings and to utilize them. As women, we get lost in the big world around us. We forget what Ward’s book simply remind us to do; value ourselves. “
I especially related to the chapter that talked about how wearing pretty little undies can make you feel sexy and confident all day. My sister has rooted around in my laundry and asked, ‘I don’t get it; why do you buy these frilly little things? No one sees them.’
And I say, ‘First of all, you don’t know who sees them, and second, because I see them, and they make me feel pretty.’ When I read that chapter, I literally said, ‘Yes! Exactly!’ out loud and nearly scared my cats half to death.
“A pognant and creative spin on a journey from heartbreak to healing, tears to laughter
and a guide to moving forward.”
“Reading this book feels like having coffee with a great friend who truly cares about you. The book is down-to-earth with actionable tips.”
“This book contains foundational principles and some of the most important pillars of life: self image, friendships, romantic relationships, professional, success, sense of belonging in safety, physical fitness, finances and spiritual nourishment. By encouraging visualization of positive changes, Happy Great Day® Self-Care Habits to Create a Beautiful Life will shift your mindset into one of growth and elegance. Halfway through reading this book, I took three hours to write down and visualize everything I want in every area of my life. By the time I finished the book, some of my visualizations were already taking shape in the real world.”
“Trust me, the chapter ‘Can You Afford Those Over-The-Knee-Go-Go Boots?’ will pay for this book many times over. As Suzana’s close friend and trusty accountant, it’s been a delight to share my top-notch, easy financial hacks for women with her. I teach clients to treat a self-audit like an exciting treasure hunt! Suzana and I have laughed (and cried) about the sneaky drains on her wallet. After reading Happy Great Day®: Self-Care Habits to Create a Beautiful Life, you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.”
