The Truth (I’m a girl, I’m smart and I know Everything!)


There’s a wonderful book being launched today which I thought might interest you. If you buy it today, you will be able to access a cornucopia of free gifts – all downloadable.

This is what the author, Dr Barbara Holstein, has to say about her book:

As you know, I have many years of practicing as a positive psychologist which has convinced me that women can draw tremendous energy and vitality from their deepest and most precious well – themselves. Yes, inside of ourselves are the positive memories from late childhood into teens, the talents, the strengths, and the untapped potential to give us all the resources we need.

Girls between 8 and 12 can and do everything. However, adolescence can be very hard on girls and years later many a woman has lost touch with her earlier talents, strengths, potential or what makes her happy.

I worked to develop a companionship with the 10-year old inside myself. Suddenly, getting to know myself as a child again was serious psychological business.

That’s when I wrote a journal-style book, The Truth (I’m a Girl, I’m Smart and I Know Everything!)

If you are a woman, it will make you want to dance with your inner 10-year old and make her energies a part of yourself again.

If you are an adult, you will see the child in your life in a much more profound light. You will want to help her hold on to her wisdom, wit, sense of competency and self-esteem.

If you are a kid or a ‘tween, you will feel understood and connected to this fictional girl. After all, she is like you. The girl sees so much and knows so much as we all did at 10 or 11. And wouldn’t it be great to hold on to the energy and confidence that can go with that stage of life?

Women and girls of all ages, kids, tweens, teens, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles thank me for bringing this book to them.

It opens the door to communication, and they see themselves, their daughters, nieces and granddaughters in the girl. Girls feel she is speaking for them while women remark that they wish this book had existed when they were growing up.

Now, this book is available on Amazon and those who buy it will also receive free downloadable gifts valued at over $6,000!

Happy birthday to me!


Happy birthday to me!!

It’s my birthday today, and it comes with a great realisation.

That I can only give what I already have myself.

I’ve heard those words many times – but it’s taken a long long time to really understand that “when Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy”.

I’m well known for saying “only wimps need a coach” at a time when I was, I now realise, physically and mentally depressed, and just starting on a journey which went downwards for a very long time before it started to slowly and painfully head back up again.

As I sit here this morning, giving myself a mental and physical hug, soaking up and absorbing the love and good wishes (physical and virtual) from family and friends I can at last understand the words from TUT sent to me by Alex this morning:

If you could see just how life was meant to be, you’d probably faint.
Because this would like exactly like they look today, and you’d find you are exactly where you’re supposed to be, in an adventure without end.

Certainty, perfectionism, control – all of these have driven me for years. And despite being “advised” to let them go, I didn’t.

And now I’m beginning to. And finding joy in the letting go.

Happy Birthday to me!

Love and hugs to me!

Grateful thanks for being here, for being alive, for experiencing life, for all that is to come.
