- Empower Your Best Self: Inspirational Tips and Insights with Author Ally Dalsimer Teri M Brown 35:32
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Ally Dalsimer, author of the book, It’s Okay Not to be Fabulous Every Day. Ally is a published author, award-winning environmental expert, former political candidate, and an experienced life coach. Life highlights include traveling the world, rescuing 7 cats, raising two children, and surviving the death of her husband and mother. Her breadth of life experience infuses her ‘Fabulous’ book with incredible insights and lessons learned.
Ally has undergraduate degrees in English and Psychology from the University of Richmond, and a Master’s in Public Policy, Environmental Law and Economics Track from Georgetown University. She lives in Virginia with her rescue cat Pooma.
She has authored or co-authored more than 50 articles, technical reports, proceedings,
brochures, and now a book! She is a member of ALLi, SCBWI, TWSA, and AAUW. Her new book, Jack & Ginger: An Unexpected Friendship will be available in 2024!
In my book review, I stated It’s Okay Not To Be Fabulous Every Day by Ally Dalsimer is an inspirational read reminding us that although we should have goals and strive to reach them, we don’t have to be at the top of our game every single day. In fact, it isn’t possible to do so. When that is our aim, we are sure to become disappointed in ourselves.
Ally began this book as a book of ‘lessons learned’ for her children as they began to move away from home and start their adult lives. In the end, she realized that everyone needs these bits of Wisdom.
Each chapter has quotes from sources you will recognize, such as Martin Luther King, Jr, but she also throws in Yoda. In fact, Ally is willing to share truth wherever she finds it to help each of us live a more fulfilled life.
I think this book would be a perfect source of daily inspiration and could easily be used for prompts for daily journal writing. It is not a ‘one and done’ book. Instead, it will stay on your bedside table for easy access whenever life seems just a little bit too hard.
