This book is both an ode and a challenge to women. It tells where we are and where we can be which is actually the place of our legacy. My heart was touched and warmed by the message. I was, even at my age, left pondering changes I can make in my own life to release and nurture my Goddess within. Marianne Williamson writes the way she speaks in her lectures, clearly and honestly. She is focused and stays with her purpose and does not wander off topic. I believe this book needs to be required reading for men as well as women. We all need the wake up call and enlightenment in this book.

#8 Glambition: Knocking Down Walls In Heels by Dee Rivera

“I had a passion and a talent for life and career, and I was kicking ass. Thing was, since I was surrounded by #trolls and haters who wanted what I had and who I was.
I started believing what others thought. Looking back, I wish I could have just said to myself, I am awesome and shrugged it off and dismiss it, but I’d wanted to be liked.
What we pretend to be, we have a way of becoming. By acting uncertain, insecure and self-doubting I became exactly those things, and I carried them into adulthood until my ah hah moment.
Don’t just gravitate to the celebrated lie of the princess culture, the so-called eligible bachelors, who are revered and tough-minded and work all the time and may or may not be capable of empathy, who offer a lifestyle, but not necessarily a real relationship.
I hope that, through my experience, you can feed your Glambition and decide to love your life, love yourself and empower your dreams to become a reality. xoxo-Dee”
