Bountiful
Women is a delicious gift, a fascinating, must-read, for
the bountiful women of the world
and
the people who love them! An upbeat, wise, and
delightfully honest guidebook, it is chock full of
practical information and creative strategies for
physical and emotional well-being.
It
gives the kind of support every large woman needs to take
charge of her own life, to know that she is entitled
to life's bounty, and to enjoy it to the
fullest.
Bonnie
Bernell is brilliant, amusing, and deeply understanding
as she makes every woman proud to be herself. She
shows how to live comfortably. She answers all kinds of
questions you never thought to ask. Bonnie deals with
subjects as diverse as how to neutralize self-criticism,
what to do about the thoughtlessness or outright cruelty
of others, how to meet the challenges of a world designed
for the small person, or how to include fun or romance as
part of life.
This
book is truly universal in its implications. Most of
us have something we want changed or some goal we feel we
must reach before we are ready to live life fully. Many
of us put our lives on hold. We're waiting until we've
reached this goal whether it's a certain weight, a
degree, money, a professional achievement, a level of
psychological or spiritual maturity, or wisdom. This book
encourages each of us to get on with life, not to wait
for some idealized state of perfection or for just the
right moment before we are entitled to begin to live.
Get
this book and get on with your life; you'll love
it!
