I first met Andrea & Lisa when I interviewed them about their Speaking Their Truth Vol.1 book on my BlogTalkRadio program "Blessings for Your Soul." I was impressed with their enthusiasm and passion for inspiring and empowering writers as well as their publishing knowledge. They mentioned they were going to publish a second edition. I never thought I would be a contributor but feel blessed to have had my story "The Power of Love" published in this powerful anthology. When I received the print draft and began to read all the stories, my heart was filled with love. I am moved by the vulnerability, strength and willingness of all the contributors. I would encourage anyone looking to be inspired or reminded that we are all similar in our stories to grab a copy of this book. It is a great support if you are experiencing any personal shifts in your life.

We as women tend to hide those traumas and challenges that we've lived, under the guise of thoughts like "I can't because it may hurt someone" or "What would they think of me if they knew?". That is the type of thinking that keeps us alone and separate.
This book book breaks down those perceived barriers that keep us isolated. It is a celebration of women of all ages, races, backgrounds, and careers who have come together to share their humanness. And in doing so, we are each able to bridge the differences that keep us separate, and see all those qualities that we in fact share.
This is a must read for any woman who is seeking inspiration and support to make positive changes in her life.
