I liked absolutely everything about this
book. From its small, compact
size that fits perfectly in my handbag, to the cheerful blue cover, to
the
inspirational content. I love carrying books around that I can
pull out
whenever I feel the need, be it to write a thought or to read an
inspiring
passage.
The Woman's Field Guide to Exceptional Living is
enriching. It encourages
you to be who you were destined to be all along. The book starts
with a
basic premise - celebrate yourself - which is easier said than done as
most of
us have always believed that we should come last. However, as I
was
reading this book, I actually wanted to try out some of the advice that
it
contains. Each section contains a step by step guide created
solely
for us women - to give us the strength to put yourselves first. I
loved
the section on gratitude - I often forget just how lucky and blessed I
truly
am. I also loved the "Field Notes" sections- a blank page
containing an inspirational thought - with plenty of room to write my
own
thoughts. Perhaps the biggest gift this book has given me is the
concept
that I need to remember what it was like to be a child and to hold on
to some
of those precious childhood instincts which made life so much fun
and
exciting (I loved making mud pies).
This book made me think and it also made me
re-evaluate the
"seriousness" of my life - I need to remember to have some fun and to
be grateful that I have the willingness to grow and believe.
Buy this book. I have had it for two weeks and it is already looking a
little
worn from the myriad of times I have pulled it in and out of my bag for
inspiration.
