I thought you might relate to the review I just did on Amazon for The Daring Book For Girls. After all, we are all still ‘girls’ or ‘boys’ somewhere inside of ourselves. Our youngster days don’t just disappear. They may fade a little, but the energy and fun in those days is still a gift to ourselves if we wish to partake of it. And I Do! The girl in The Truth, (I’m a girl, I’m smart and I know everything) is one way back that I have created. She opens the memory banks for many women and helps them to get infused with their own earlier energies. Of course kids, teens and tweens love the book because it authenticates and documents the energies and wisdom they already have.
Let me share the review with you now. Have you read The Daring Book for Girls? What do you think? Write to me.
As a Positive Psychologist, I’m all in favor of this book for girls. It talks, shares and teaches about so many of the subjects that girls want to know more about. For example, Double Dutch Jump Rope, How to Tie a Sari, Every Girl’s Toolbox, Joan of Arc, Making a willow Whistle, and Sleep Outs, and even Boys. Here is a quote from the Boy’s section: "Wherever you fall on the specturm of how you feel about boys, do treat all your friends, boys and girls, with kindness. This has gone out of fashion and that’s a sad mistake."
Oh, who am I kidding, I loved this book because I am me, a woman who still has a daring girl inside of her! I want to Jump Rope (the knee-I have to be careful, though.) I want to learn how to tie a Sari and really know how to use tools and learn about famous women through the ages and have maybe not sleep outs but pajama parties with women friends once in awhile and leave the men at home. Did I say, men? Yes, let’s treat them with respect! That is good advice at any age.
Whatever your age, this book will make you want to do and learn and have fun. It will infuse you with energy and your daring side will come to life. I say read it whether you are 8 or 98! I dare you!
