I am a New York Times Bestseller author. What are you?

September 30, 2009

Oh my god. This very well might be my most frightening moment since beginning the 100 Things I Fear challenge.  I am quite frankly shivering with fear and excitement. You see, I received $5 of Borders Bucks.  I know, that in and of itself isn’t frightening at all.  But, just wait until you hear what [...]

Book Review: This Time I Dance by Tama Kieves

August 26, 2009

This is one of the best self-discovery books I’ve read and it’s all about “creating the work you love.” She poses this powerful question: If you’re this successful doing work you don’t love, what could you do with work you do love? If this question stirs something within you, then I invite you to stop [...]

Great Read for Parents of Teens

August 20, 2009

What a fun and fast read! Ever since I read the Twilight series I’ve been devouring all sorts of vampire books. I had no idea there were so many! This one was definitely catchy. Yeah, there were some parts that were kinda hokey, but the writing was sharp. I could see all the action clearly [...]

Are you hiding your dark side?

August 10, 2009

I met Debbie Ford in San Francisco earlier this year as she was preparing for her movie debut.  She has a phenomenal message and I highly recommend this book: This book shines a bright light of awareness into the dark corners of your heart, mind and soul.  Yes, it asks you to look where you [...]

Must Read Book for all Parents of Teens & Tweens

May 17, 2009

This book wil NOT teach you new parenting skills and strategies.  It will give you a comprehensive understanding of a potentially boring and dry topic (brain development) in an interesting and readable way.  The author (a health and medical science editor) weaves in personal stories with facts and research findings about the teenage brain, which [...]

I just bought these books

Michael Port says, “The single most important act of any one individual thinking big is inspiring others to think big. Truth be told, sometimes it’s easier to help others to think big than to do it ourselves. And here is the gift of thinking big… the process of helping others is what builds our confidence [...]

Trade Women for Horses? What?!

November 5, 2008

I personally *LOVE* this novel. In fact, it is definitely one of my all-time favs. Total two thumbs up and 5 stars. The writing was superb. There wasn’t a single wasted word. I loved the pace and created an instant “movie in my head” from the very first page. The story was vivid and I [...]

Book Review: Eat, Pray, Love

October 13, 2008

Total thumbs up for Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert! Before I became self-employed I used to read a ton of fiction and being involved in a book club was mandatory. I simply loved talking about books and connecting with others. Back in 2005 when I went back to school to become a life coach [...]

I’m Reading…

July 26, 2008

The next book for our book club is Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris. I’m looking forward to reading a novel written by a woman. Our first two picks were both written by men and interestingly enough the main characters were women. Wally Lamb did a much better job writing a woman in She’s Come [...]
