This book could not have come at a better time. Kimberlie's fresh take on the power we all have inside is amazing. Witty, funny and down right brutal. Get up off your self pity and read this book. Then buy it for all of your friends and family.

I am hoping that those of you who enjoy being challenged will the take time to engage this powerhouse of a woman and her words of wit and wisdom. Clearly she must have lived several lives before this one in order to amass this cadre of insight for living a fruitful life. Kimberlie Dykeman has clearly demonstrated a big heart powered by a keen mind.

Kimberlie's enthusiam for life is infectious and she knows how to push the right motivational buttons. If, after reading this, you're not energized and eager to make some positive changes in your life then you're probably already dead. It's one of those books you'll pull off the shelf again and again whenever you need a kick in the pants.

Kimberlie's take on life's situations, filtered through the insight of these collected words of wisdom, always strike the appropriate chord. The quotes always seem prescient, and Kimberlie distills their essence into nuggets of real-life applicability. She encourages, cajoles, and coaches her readers into a positive outlook through these words. The book is great to pick up in the morning and open randomly - the passage always seems to be the one you need to get your day started on the right note.

Challenges the reader to create better balance in their day to day lives. This book also casts a wide net to anyone, so no matter the audience we are all graced with Ms. Dykeman's encouraging perspective. Ohh and it's funny too...

Kimberlie's ability to articulate wisdom from so many perspectives is inspiring. This is a book that you read and say you get it but will find yourself going back again to get yet another perspective. She has taken famous quotes, added her own twist in a creative and inspiring way that all of us can identify with. Be prepared to hear it head on but if you want to use the power within you to build a better life for yourself read this book!

Kimberlie Dykeman is a dynamo who practices what she preaches. Her style is fresh and easy to ready. It's amazing how she takes "old" ideas and gives them an up-to-date and in-your-face motivational spin. It's easy to accept the defeat that daily life tries to hand us. This book is positive "perspective" on life's possibilities for those willing to stretch themselves in Kimberlie's "life aerobics" class!

Need a little extra kick with your coffee in the mornings? Kimberlie Dykeman's PURE SOAPBOX might be just the additive. In this 152 page book, there are sixty-five commentaries. Originally Dykeman began a weekly inspirational email called The Monday Soapbox Edition. Her commentary begins with a quote, usually from a well known person, followed by her own brand of positive wisdom. Each is thought-provoking, but at the same time, energizing. It's a great way to start each morning. It's seriously refreshing!

Inspiration doesn't have to be a long winded speech; small bursts can be just as effective.
