Dare to be Fabulous: Follow the journeys of daring women on the path to finding their true north

Description

"This book holds together the power women find when they are honest and courageous and truthful. Some of these stories moved me to tears, others made me believe in humanity again, many I could identify with. This book brought me tremendous joy, insight and brought me back to believe in the human spirit." JULIANNA MARGULIES, multiple award-winning actor and author of Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life

What does it mean to be fabulous? In this enthralling collection, women from all walks of life explore what it takes to find our own true north, sharing personal stories of successes, mishaps, and often-hilarious surprises along the way.

From the Introduction: "We can all relate to how it feels when we dare to cross a personal divide, enter unknown terrain, take a chance, shift perspective, face a fear, or stretch a little. Liberating ourselves from long-established routines, behaviors, expectations, or fears, can be very empowering and even provide a healthy dose of levity and laughter. This is daring to be fabulous. And it's how we find our true north."

Featuring tenacious mountain climbers, reluctant city drivers, unlikely CIA spies, courageous journalists, heart-driven animal activists, and many others, Dare to be Fabulous invites readers on an inspiring journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Their candid personal stories will inspire you, warm your heart, and make you laugh.

Each story is followed by a personal prompt to further inspire thought, reflection, imagination, and action.

A companion Dare to be Fabulous Journal Notebook is also available. Featuring women's humorous and inspiring quotes, this vibrant publication is ideal for following the prompts in the book. Together, they make a beautiful set.
