Tin Can Moments®

When Sonya started writing “Tin Can Moments”, she thought the story began with her husband, Dennis, in 2012, as they began to work on and document their attitudes toward negative situations by dropping notes into an old tin can. As she wrote, she discovered her first tin can moment actually took place when she was 10 years old. She did not have a piece of paper to write it on or a tin can to put it in. As you read Sonya’s and others’ stories in this book, you will see the impact of what happens when a person lets go of the negative and recognizes the positive in every situation, on any given day, no matter how bad the day. Sonya, along with the people who share their stories in this book, believes tin can moments is the beginning of a “war on negative thinking.” This book is for people who are prepared to change their attitude, recognize the power of faith and want to overcome any obstacle. So, get ready to DREAM BIG! Reading “Tin Can Moments” will place you in a groundswell of people who start growing in a positive direction and will be unstoppable in becoming the best possible version of themselves!
