I took this book to the beach with me on vacation- great decision! I loved the advice and perspectives of the authors on creating a more meaningful life, while the stories from contributors kept me entertained.

GGG was definitely an inspiration; I enjoyed it so much I bought additional copies for birthday gifts. Five stars!

This review is from: Dancing Through Life with Guts, Grace & Gusto: Fancy Footwork for the Woman's Sole (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book full of stories of ordinary women and how they've dealt with challenges we'd wake up at night screaming about. It reminds us that everyone has a story and the quality of our lives depends on how we deal with it.

This review is from: Dancing Through Life with Guts, Grace & Gusto: Fancy Footwork for the Woman's Sole (Paperback)

A book that gives you lots of "food for thought" about what life can bring you and how to come out on the other side of your problem with a positive attitude. Poignant and humorous, in some instances, at the same time. A great read!
