Empowered to empower others..., August 13, 2005
This review is from: 100 Words of Wisdom for Women: A 31-Day Exercise in Empowerment (Paperback)
100 WORDS OF WISDOM: A 31-Day Exercise in Empowerment is a remarkable collection of 100 words shared by women who have lived, learned, and become successful in their lives, careers, or personal relationships with others. Those involved in this project range from authors and journalists, to beauty, career and health advisors, but also includes doctors, activists, and those with seemingly ordinary lives, committed to various programs and causes.
The book is designed to be a 31 day guide toward empowerment in which the contributors share many pieces of wisdom such as learning from elders, understanding your purpose, claiming what is meant for you, learning from life's lessons and growing as a result of them. Also showcased are pieces on optimizing health, giving back to others, and finding your own voice. Of the selections, I enjoyed many of the various anectdotes, stories, and reflections, yet some of my favorites, in addition to the highlights mentioned above, were learning to free yourself and letting go of grudges, as well as the sections on recalling memories and journaling as a means to improve one's emotional and physical state of mind. To sum up each day is an affirmation, and the book concludes with a detailed biographical sketch of each contributor.
Women seeking guidance, balance, and encouragement should pick up this gem of a book and lose themselves in the teachings, and fully realize their destined place in the world. 100 WORDS OF WISDOM will inspire and enrich the lives of every woman who reads it, applies it, and utilizes it as their guide on the journey to empowerment.

I have read through some of the book and was impressed with its encouragement and compassion. I have recommended the book to others, especially those in my domestic violence support group and presentations.
