Author: Saundra Goodmanwww.gotteethguide.com Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson If you think reading a book on dental care will make your eyes glaze over-think again. Got Teeth? A Survivor’s Guide was informative, most educational, and very entertaining. Saundra Goodman has combined years of research with her own personal journey through periodontal disease which resulted in the loss of half of her own teeth and her only option, dentures. Think you know all you need to know as far as good oral hygiene is concerned? Again I say-think again. For instance, here’s a little something I... Continue Reading

Author: Heather Summerhayes Cariouwww.sixtyfiverosesthebook.com Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson Sixty-Five Roses is truly a heart-wrenching, yet beautiful account of two sister’s love for one another as one sister, Pam, battles daily for her life with cystic fibrosis. This memoir cast an even wider net of love encompassing and making transparent the lives of the entire family on this journey about love, understanding, illness, heartaches, and accomplishments. A lifetime story that leaves no emotion in a safe harbor. While the family tried desperately to live “normal,” the... Continue Reading

Author: Kathy Walshwww.sleepdrystaycool.com/ Reviewed By: Dotsie Bregel I was the fortunate recipient of a lavender night shirt to help me get through the Midlife nights which cause me to wake up soaked. Such a wonderful topic, but one many of us are all too familiar with. Call me a Doubting Thomasina, but I thought there was no way I could experience a hot flash and not have to change pajamas in the middle of the night. I was wrong. Kathy Walsh offers a line of nightware made with a “wicking” fabric, which is used to make all of her sleepwear. The fabric actually “wicks”... Continue Reading

Author: Elinor Stutzwww.smoothsale.net Reviewed By: Lynn C. Tolson Stutz certainly has the expertise to write this book. Her credentials are based, in part, on her attention to detail and ability to determine the needs of both the saleswoman and her clients. The author summarizes the key points in each chapter with “Nice Girl Sales Tips” in the form of a list and presents a thorough and useful guide to benefit any working woman. In chapter 2, Stutz tells the story of the beginning of her sales career after spending fifteen years at home raising two children. She explains to the reader... Continue Reading

Author: Judith Sherven, Ph. D & James Sniechowskwww.smartweddingcouples.com Reviewed By: Lynn C. Tolson As relationship trainers, motivational speakers, and workshop leaders, the authors of this book have credentials. Drs.

Author: Katherine Scherer and Eileen Bodohwww.gratitudeworks.com Reviewed By: Dotsie Bregel Gratitude Works: Open Your Heart to Love It’s a new year. Time to make changes. I can’t think of a better way to begin than to count your blessings and be grateful. May I suggest that you allow Katherine and Eileen to help you with your mission? Their book offers 365 opportunities to give thanks. You can read it from cover to cover as I did and feel an overwhelming recognition of how blessed you are, or you can read one reflection a day and focus on that particular blessing all day long.... Continue Reading

Author: Jane CarrollBertha-size Your Life Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson If I used one word to describe this book it would be, F-U-N. But then again, there’s another; “revelations.” And yet another; “perspective.” My list goes on and on. I enjoyed this read so much that I finished in two days. Jane Carroll opens her story with the “Empty Nest” blues as her last child leaves via the altar, but she quickly turns the theme around into a wonderful adventure of enlightenment, encouragement, and self-love. One that helps the reader in sorting out the past,... Continue Reading

Author: Lauren E. SullivanInspired Life Design Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson I want to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Going one step further, I’ll add that I really don’t believe it matters what stage of life you’re experiencing, you’ll find something within the pages of this book that resonates within. Ms Sullivan’s book is warm, inviting, and almost like having your own personal life coach sitting across from you helping you to make sense of the chaos and showing you how to take charge of your broken dreams, encouraging you all the way. I felt a kinship... Continue Reading

Author: Meredith Laskowwww.meredithlaskow.com Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson I’m scared of poetry. It reveals too much. It can touch my very core just when I’ve managed to be alone with my own thoughts, mostly hidden, some displayed. In Galloping Words, Poet Laureate Meredith Laskow will not allow the reader to hide behind forgotten emotions or past hurts. Not even past joys! Her words speak of freedom, then darkness; dreams, then isolation. I found myself in nearly every page. On page 28 in Treasure, she writes… If we are the end product of our memories and experiences, And... Continue Reading
