I find this to be a great book to read during these difficult times. Sophia's life clearly was not perfect, she was not gifted her business and her approach in writing this is direct and authentic. She went from dumpster diving to a hugely successful business, whats not to like:)? The Amazon reviews are mixed but of course what product isn't. well worth the $12.00

"Why now is the time to diversify"
“Plan B” …… we all know we should have one and there’s never been a better time to take a deeper look at options. Jayne Brodie, a long time MWAW member, shares how she created her Option B after the 2008 recession by looking outside the box. She was already in her 50’s and had a very successful ad agency…..she shares a candid conversation about how (and why!) she changed not only her career, but her lifestyle as well. Great inspiration and food for thought as we are all facing change right now….the question is always what we’re going to do about that change.

"Cancer, Joann's Journey"
An open and honest conversation told with a little humor for anyone that has been diagnosed with cancer. Joann was not just diagnosed once but twice with breast cancer and her story may help you with your journey in that she lets you know what to expect and how she felt during the different layers of acceptance. And for those that have friends that have been diagnosed with cancer this will help you understand how to offer support and help heal. An important message.
