Bertha-Size Your Life &Raquo; 18 Bbook Photo

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

Give Wings To Your Dreams &Raquo; 24 Bbook Photo

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

Galloping Words

Galloping Words &Raquo; 22 Bbook Photo

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

TaylorTrust in the Wind Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson Trust in the Wind- Chosing single motherhood in her teens, Joanne lost everything, including the support and love of her family. Pregnant and alone, she makes the decision to go forth with her life. She trust no one and firmly locks the door of her heart. She vowed to become independent, trust only the wind, and to never let love break down the barriers surrounding her heart. That is . . . until she met Roy. I finished reading Trust in the Wind and realized that once again Ms Taylor convinced me to “latched on”... Continue Reading

That Ridiculous Blue Sky &Raquo; 29 Bbook Photo

Author: Monica B. Morriswww.monicabmorris.com/ Reviewed By: Patti Hill “that ridiculous blue sky” was an absolute pleasure to read! It proved to hold my interest from its opening pages. I found myself thinking about the latest twist while at work; I had to discipline myself to finish my tasks before returning to the developing plot. I thought I knew where the story was going, but was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t! For any woman who thinks she needs romance to live, for any woman trying to find her way in a new world, for any woman who needs to laugh at her own insecurities,... Continue Reading

Outshining The Moon &Raquo; 17 Bbook Photo

Author: Jerelyn CradenOutshining the Moon Reviewed By: Georgia Richardson I have to say I really enjoyed this book. A little bit of strong language in some spots, however, the story was a good one full of creativity and imagination. Vessie, the main character, is snowbound in her car and from the get-go, in danger of dying. What does one do in a situation like this? We reflect. This is what Vessie offers throughout the rest of the book as she waits in her car with nothing but her inner child for company. Taking you from one stage of her childhood as a psychic first, then a healer, to losing... Continue Reading
