My Thoughts
I have to be honest, when I first started reading this book, my exact thought was, "Oh good grief, why did I sign up for this? Why does everyone think we simply need 21 days to achieve anything and please oh please spare me!" Such a positive attitude I know. Due to my own personal goals and the actions I am taking to meet them, it did take a few chapters to begin enjoying this book. However, I do believe Kathi Lipp's book will well serve those who have pondered highering a life coach, a career counselor, or anyone of that nature. She gives practical tips and personal stories that are insightful and offer wisdom and perspective. As I read this book, I felt confirmed in my own path. For those who are desiring help and feel lost or overwhelmed with how to get to where they want to go, The Me Project will be an answered prayer.
Book Summary
(San Jose, CA) Has that rush to make (and break) New Year’s resolutions already waned? According to Daniel Pink, author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, taking small steps every day will not only help you stay committed to your goal, but will also help you ultimately achieve that goal when obstacles come up. Author Kathi Lipp wants you and your friends to live out those dreams—and have some fun along the way.
As women, we forget the goals and dreams of our younger years. The busyness of everyday life gets in the way. To-do lists replace goals. The Me Project provides women with fun and creative ways to bring back the sense of purpose and vitality that comes with living out the plans and dreams God has planted in our hearts. Kathi Lipp’s warm tone and laugh-out-loud humor motivates women to take daily steps toward intentional goals. The end result? We get back our lives and enjoy living in the confidence of a purposeful life in spite of our chaotic schedules.
This handy guide coaches women to do one simple thing toward achieving our goals each day for three weeks. A woman experiencing the exhilaration of a rediscovered life offers more as a wife, mother, friend, volunteer, career woman.
Finding the balance between living day-to-day with purpose while pursuing the passions God has placed in our hearts is a delicate pursuit. In this refreshing, insightful book, Kathi lays out a doable plan that makes sense and helps make our God-given dreams a reality. Never stop dreaming, because women who dare to dream do make the world a better place. —Jean Blackmer author of MomSense: A Common Sense Guide to Confident Mothering Publishing Manager, MOPS International www.MOPS.org

Chelle - thanks so much for your thoughtful review. I understand the eye-rolling and "oh-please..." when it comes to the 21 days. Thanks for going deeper. So glad you felt confirmed in your own steps!
