What a cool book for your own enjoyment and bedside reading--or a fabulous gift for any female in your life.

The author arranged her thoughts alphabetically. Some examples are:

A: Affirm our own and each other's worth.
H: Heed our intuitive wisdom.
P: Prepare our children for life.
V: Veer away from negative people.

You get the idea. Each chapter starts with quotes like in C: Commit to Excellence's, "The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for." This is by Maureen Dowd, syndicated newspaper columnist. Then there is a little story, Tips & Tools and sometimes poetry in each letter's section.

In U: Understand your finances is the advice that "a man is not a financial plan," --good advice for single and married women.

Each section is better than the one before. This book is a keeper you'll go back to often for inspiration, insight, laughter and a "good think."

Armchair Interviews says: Good practical reminders in an interesting presentation worth any woman's time.
