I really loved reading Michele Woodward's new book. Her essays give wonderful and humorous prespective about what is really important in today's world. Written with lots of common sense each essay made me think and reflect about my own life. Not tiresome or preachy which some of this genre can be. The Way of Transition essay especially hit home, saying that is always a new beginning after a dark period in one's life. Just a delightful book!

Michele knows how to warm the heart and lift the soul. She's a master of relevancy and practicality, while being an inspiration. Her essays always make me reflect on my life and how I can live the life I really want. She's a gifted writer and coach.

Ever read something and find yourself (wine glass in hand), shouting YES, THAT IS EXACTLY IT! That's the experience I had when reading Michele Woodward's essays about the dilemmas we all face, the excuses we all hide behind, and the ways in which we try not to look at them until we have to. Luckily, if we're reading the book, we're also attempting to do something that works a bit better. The genius of these essays is that they sneakily apply effective coaching principles in a way that makes you feel like you've just heard the answer from a close girlfriend over dinner.

So you pick up this book because there is something you want to change or something that you want to make better or something that you want to do and you just don't seem to get it done. And you would prefer a quick fix. Or at least an easy one, right? Well, NOT. MTW isn't going to offer you the easy way out. She's going to ask you take a good hard look at yourself. But she'll also help you laugh at what you see and then figure out a way to get yourself moving. There aren't a lot of complicated answers here, but some realistic straight talk about this thing we call living. Remember this is a woman who once said she aspired to write a book called "Thin Thighs in This Life Time." . This one is even better.

I just finished Michele's book and all I can say is wow is this woman fantastic! You'll laugh, you may cry and at the end you'll thank her for sharing her wisdom with us. A fantastic read and one to keep around for refreshers every now and then! Thanks Michele!
