They are mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, grandmas, girlfriends, neighbors, classmates, and coworkers.

Some are famousothers not. But they all have uttered words that can teach, console, lift us up out of our doldrums, and share wisdom for our journey through life, and this is a book to turn to again and again for advice, support, encouragement, empathy, and understanding. As youll see, wisdom isnt limited to those of fame and fortune. Some of the wisest words Ive ever heard came from the lips of ordinary women of extraordinary insight, like Suzanne Schultz, a researcher at the University of Delaware, who once said, The greatest gift you can give someone is the gift of the interested listener. Or my dear friend Karen, who likes to say, Dont let what you cant do stop you from what you can do. My female friends and colleagues may come and go, but their wise words stay with me forever.

Thats not to say that famous women arent great sources of inspiration, too, because they are. For sure. And this book offers you the gift of their words as well. Becca Andersons collection, Plan Be , is a veritable treasure chest of pearls of wisdom and wit from women. Words to live bywords to love bywords to laugh by. Words of wisdom from women who fan the flame of hope that each of us can design the kind of life we want to livewe dont have to buy into anyone elses definition of success, happiness, or fulfillment.

These are pearls of great worth. Try them onsee how they feelchoose the pearls that best suit you and the kind of life you aspire to. Keep them close to your heart. Every woman needs a good string of pearlspearls of wisdom, that is. Barbara Jean Hateley Plan Be!
Secrets of Highly Successful Women Women inspire me. Its as simple as that.

All I have to do is look around. There are the women who run the restaurant on the cornerthe place where everybody feels comfortable and taken care of. There are mothers pushing strollers, and mothers crunching numbers. There are women healing the sick. Gals cracking us up. Ladies penning the novels and singing the songs that change our lives.

Chicks fixing the plumbing. Girls setting world records. Politicians challenging the status quo from within the system, and activists battering it from the outside. There are women at the pinnacle of their fields in every corner of the world, and women finding satisfaction in their own successes, small and large. Whats their secret? (Well, Ill give you a hinttheres more than one.) What kind of success are you working toward? Maybe you dont know yetor thought you did but arent sure. Or maybe youre on the right track but need a kick in the pants.

In our own lives, success can feel elusive. We can get bogged down comparing ourselves to others or whining about what we lack. The women in this book have secrets to share, to shout to the rafters even. Their wise words will push your buttons, open your eyes, and rev up your engine. This book is a reminder that you have what it takes to make it to the top. And the best part is, you get to decide where the top is, and you get to chart the path to reach it.

This book is here for youits full of quotes and thoughts from hundreds of women to encourage, motivate, and support you as you make your way. Famous and infamous, wise and wisecracking, haughty and humble. Some are names you will know well, others are everyday gals like you and me with something important to add. I read somewhere that were all descended from three ancestral mothers. How amazing is that? A woman brought each and every one of us into this world, and when we look in the mirror, we can see traces of our mothers, grandmothers, even great-grandmothers. And their gifts go way beyond skin-deep.

Every woman in the world is a member of this familyand you can call on their words and their life stories to inspire you at every turn. So keep this book close to you as you get organized, vamp up your personal style, and figure out how to work smarter. Sit back and let this book help you remember the importance of relaxing and indulging yourself (with girlfriends whenever possible). And dont ever forget to go after your dreams with every ounce of yourself, because after allwomen can do anything! The Art of Self-Affirmation If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and drained by the busyness of life with its many demands, you need to stop in your tracks and do an attitude adjustment, or more specifically, a gratitude adjustment. Whenever you have gotten to this point, you have need of some me TLC and a dose of radical self-care. Chances are, your very wonderfulness may have led you to give and give and give and give.

Now, you need to give and give and give to yourself. You need to soak up the glory of your very being and remember that you are an amazing, awesome person and deserving of all good things! The world is changing all around us with increasing speed, making most of us feel we have no control. We are so busy doing and being productive and bullet journaling our way through life that we might be riding on the back of our own bus. Positive living and affirmation queen Becca Anderson has been to the edge of overwhelm and back again. While on her journey, she has gathered a lot of wisdom, and here is her big takeaway: If you affirm yourself every day, you can rule the world. More importantly, you can live a life filled with love, joy, fulfillment, and satisfaction thanks to your own positive self-regard.
