The Confident Woman by Joyce Meyers

When my coworker noticed how distraught I was becoming about my divorce, she suggested that I read "The Confident Woman" by Joyce Meyers. I am so glad that I read this book. Many of the chapters spoke to me, especially some of the examples presented. I remember thinking or doing them. I never could figure out why it took me so long to finish reading this book.  Now I know exactly why. I had to finish this book today... just in time for the beginning of a new year, 2011, and a new life for me.

Broken into two parts (confidence and fear), "The Confident Woman" is a must-read for any woman desiring to reach her full potential, while changing negative hinderances. For me, the chapters on Fear (seven) held the most impact for my life. Several things I desire to do and pursue, I have not done because of my fear of failure. Two things in particular include working for myself full-time with my image consulting business, Sensational Image Consulting INC, and opening a clothing boutique.  Using scriptures to correspond with her text, Meyers' writing style speaks to you and tells you exactly what you need to hear.  I know I have read what I needed to hear and will be using this book to motivate me towards living out my full potential.

Happy Holidays

Perhaps, the most rewarding aspect of my visits home is the bundles of books I always manage to bring home. For my Christmas gifts, my parents gave me a box of books, which included James Patterson, Nora Roberts, Reader's Digests Collections, as well as Wayne Johnston's, book, "A Custodian Paradise." I believe that I will enjoy the books. I started Johnston's book, and surprisingly I may just finish it. I am shocked. Just from the cover of the book, I wouldn't have chosen it. However, the rule is, "Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover." I am hoping your holiday is amazing.  During this last week of vacation, I plan to read a book a day. Tonight, I am determined to finish "Confident Woman" by Joyce Meyers. This book is overwhelming with life lessons and information you know and have heard, but you just need a refresher course. Happy Reading.

Book Review: Haiku by Hart Larrabee

Recently, I had the privilege of reading Haiku. I was captivated by the symbols, language, and English translation on each page. I enjoyed t...
