Self-love is underrated. Everybody looks at themselves and finds all sorts of reasons not to love what they see or they wait for someone else to give them permission to love themselves. You have to stop waiting and start doing and that takes some work. Self-love is not something that just happens - it's a creative process where you dig deep to find your own soul. You have to let go of comparisons which make you feel less than and you have to see your supposed flaws as your gifts. As a woman of color, you think you are at the bottom of the pile but your position is unique and your differences are not your weakness, they are your strength. Once you own that, you can be unstoppable. Self-love is a journey that starts with forgiveness and acceptance of what is. Then it moves on to starting your own revolution of love. It's a soulful revolution where you stop judging yourself and start celebrating yourself instead. You learn to question everything you have always believed about yourself - you wake up! You become conscious and above all, self-aware. You learn what is important to you. You decide what kind of behavior you are not prepared to accept, from yourself or from others, which leads to setting appropriate boundaries. Then you discover that loving yourself is non-negotiable and not stepping into your identity and your power is unacceptable. You have no right to hide and to play it safe, even though it's more comfortable. And then you discover that loving yourself is hard and takes courage and commitment but you are blessed with the creative genius to shape your own world if you would just reach out and grab it with both hands. click the buy button to start reading TODAY

Book Description
YOU ARE ENOUGH! chronicles Charlene Wheeless's fearless quest to be the best possible version of herself in every aspect of her life--at work and at home. For Charlene, this means busting up stereotypes, breaking down barriers, and flat-out refusing to be ignored, pigeonholed, or forgotten.

Charlene's experiences serve as a compass for individuals and corporations looking to change their course, alter their patterns, and expand their ways of thinking and being. With raw honesty, blazing courage, and solution-driven sensibility, Charlene reminds us that despite the setbacks, struggles, and obstacles life throws our way, we can be seen. We must not be invisible. We must be our own authentic selves. In short: We are enough!

Book Description
Have you ever felt like there's a missing piece? You've been trying to figure out what it is but every class, podcast, and guru wasn't the answer. I lived most of my life believing that someone else had my answers. We've been trained this way since we were young and taught to believe that there is something wrong with us - that we're broken. Or that someone else knows better than we do about what's best for us. We didn't apologize for being ourselves when we were children, so why do we do it now? I learned how to change my thinking and lean into who I am and the gifts I bring to the world. I'm continually learning how to stop apologizing for it. I wrote this book to help you learn how to do the same. To learn to understand and accept yourself and who you are, and bring your awesome to the world. Living unapologetically starts with loving who you are, what you bring to the world, and refusing to apologize for it. Join me on the adventure towards living as an unapologetic you. PRAISE for Unapologetic: "Unapologetic is about tapping into who you really are and the unique gifts you bring to the world. In Unapologetic, you'll learn how to connect with your brilliance and essence so you can shine your bright light in an unapologetic way." ~ Christy Whitman, New York Times bestselling author "How many times did you apologize today?" Tammy's book starts with that simple question, but it's a powerful one that stopped me dead in my tracks before I'd even made it to Chapter 1. Tammy has created something special here and her words made me question my own approach to my dreams, goals and aspirations." ~ Jon Acuff, New York Times Bestselling author of Soundtracks, the Surprising Solution to Overthinking "Tammy's new book, Unapologetic, is a powerful journey into why we apologize. This is going to be your trusted handbook as you explore, get curious and reframe your mindset so you can show up in your life authentically and Unapologetically!!!" ~ Dawn Duffy, Intuitive Energy Healer "Unapologetic teaches you how to unleash the beautiful power within you to live an intentional life--one that you truly love!" ~ Karen Putz, Author of Unwrapping Your Passion "Like a trusted friend, Tammy holds out her hand to carefully and gracefully walk with the reader on the road of discovery, intention, and acceptance. Her words are infused with well-watered wisdom that offers focus and clarity. This is no traditional self-help book; rather, it is a trusted guide for lasting change." ~ Ronne Rock, Mentor and author of One Woman Can Change the World: Reclaiming Your God-Designed Influence and Impact Right Where You Are "Tammy Helfrich has written a must read for anyone embarking on the journey of self discovery. Unapologetic is full of wisdom, personal stories, & questions that speak directly to the heart of the seeker that is searching for their purpose in life." ~ Sheri Strzelecki, Life Coach & Wellness Practitioner at Centered Soul Space "I met Tammy at that fateful conference in 2011, and her personal journey has been inspiring. And now she's calling us to join her. Unapologetic confronts a culture that's taught so many people to hide our superpowers, to adapt and defer to others, and to be ashamed of our unique Awesome. These lies are not only toxic to us as individuals, but they rob the greater community of our best contributions. Unapologetic is a call to arms -- to embrace our individual superpowers and to share them with confidence and power." ~ Chris Niles, Novelist, Shark Key Adventure Series

Book Description
An irresistible collection of favorite writings from an author celebrated for his bravura style and sheer unpredictability Francis Spufford's welcome first volume of collected essays gathers an array of his compelling writings from the 1990s to the present. He makes use of a variety of encounters with particular places, writers, or books to address deeper questions relating to the complicated relationship between story-telling and truth-telling. How must a nonfiction writer imagine facts, vivifying them to bring them to life? How must a novelist create a dependable world of story, within which facts are, in fact, imaginary? And how does a religious faith felt strongly to be true, but not provably so, draw on both kinds of writerly imagination? Ranging freely across topics as diverse as the medieval legends of Cockaigne, the Christian apologetics of C. S. Lewis, and the tomb of Ayatollah Khomeini, Spufford provides both fresh observations and thought-provoking insights. No less does he inspire an irresistible urge to turn the page and read on.
