I picked this book up because Review book

What I liked the Most? Finding Myself

What I liked the Least? Finding Myself

Review: You know there has to be some sort of divine entity, call it God, Goddess, Bob, or Source, it doesn't matter. I am going through a lot in my personal life right now and I get this book in the mail and it just makes perfect sense.

This book arrived in the mail on Monday, I took the little quiz at the front of the book, I finished reading it by Tuesday night and I am blown away. I will be following the 90 Days to a New Life Direction & look forward to posting my progress here on the blog. I took the quiz at the beginning of the book
  • My life is chaotic and out of control, True
  • I have no time for the things I really want to do, True
  • I have interpersonal conflicts in my workplace or at home, double True
  • My home and/or office environment is cluttered and not conducive to good work, double True
  • I am the sole provider or caretaker of my immediate and/or extended family, True x 4

So that means I need to start at chapter one (ironic ain't it) with "What you hate gives a name to what you want" Okay so now on to my first assignment. Homework, at my age, that sounds intimidating. After all, who wants even more work? But you know what, I am definitely worth it.

Recommended to: Anyone feeling stuck, definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for some real self-discovery.

  1. I will be following your progress with interest!

    You will probably find that you remind yourself of lots of things that you already knew (about yourself, or life in general) that you'd just forgotten.

    Enjoy the journey! Fiona :)
