Connie E. Sokol

****Please note that I received this book as part of the Goodreads First Reads Giveaway program****

Let me start off by saying that I'm not a mother at the current time. I may or may not be one in the future. Regardless, the social structure of motherhood as a role still interests me, which is why I chose to read this book.

I did not realize at the time that I entered the contest that this was a book heavily based in religious thought. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that I'm not a particularly religious person myself so I think some of the message was lost to me in that respect. Also, I believe that the author was writing from a Mormon based perspective so many of the references were lost to me in that respect.

Regardless of that, I do want to say that I did appreciate the positive messages of the book. I also liked some of the anecdotes, but found others to be somewhat dry, so I couldn't really connect with the author or really get a sense into her own personal view on motherhood which is what I think I went into the book expecting to read about.

Even though this book wasn't for me, anyone who's looking for some positive messages may appreciate it.… (plus d'informations)

Whenever I need to get my life in order...again... :)
I turn to a Connie E. Sokol book!

Her books are WONDERFUL!
Filled with love and laughter and direction.

Connie has been there...done that...And is now sharing her AMAZING advice and ideas.

She shows us how to "create a powerful life plan" in "3 simple steps."

1. Create your Life Plan
2. Choose a Life Focus
3. Set ONE weekly goal to achieve it

When you are ready Connie will take you on a journey that will help you be better, feel happier, and achieve your dreams and goals.

I LOVE the process of only ONE goal a week...even I can do that!

I did her "8-week challenge" a few months ago..and was SO IMPRESSED with the results!

Take a leap of faith this year and create YOUR powerful life plan...you will be so happy you did!… (plus d'informations)

What an enjoyable very quick, and often witty read. You will get pulled in and start turning the pages for Connie's Gems of Wisdom.
One thought...she said going to the book store, and doing research with some of your own books. Then feeling like someone will think you stole your own books....how true!! I could just see me doing this!
I will keep this delightful book handy for a pick up. You can do it girl!!

I received this book through I Am A Reader, Not A Writer Blog Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.… (plus d'informations)
