Monday Motivation Book Giveaway Wrap-up and Note From the Author

Monday Motivation Book Giveaway Wrap-up and Note From the Author Happy Monday!  I hope you are enjoying book giveaway week as much as I am!  We have one more book giveaway this afternoon.  Todays book is the perfect book for someone who loves social media.  If you are reading this blog, that most likely is you so stay tuned! I also wanted to share with you a few thoughts from Kimberly Lin, the author of the book Recession Proof.  You can find her book giveaway here. Many of you posted comments about begin stuck in a rut during this recession and she wanted me to let you know the following: After reading the comments from this giveaway, I am incredibly humbled and touched. I truly loved reading everyones own personal stories because my goal in writing this book was to really give our generation, especially young career women, a voice as we navigate through these challenging times and face our lives in general. I firmly believe in the strength and intelligence of women and its been incredibly fulfilling to 1) follow my own dreams and inspire other women to do so as well and 2) connect our lives together.   Even as I am traversing through my own journey (and believe me it gets hard), I want to encourage readers to never give up. Never settle. You deserve to have it all and you can have it all through hard work, faith and sheer determination. Im reminded of the quote by Winston Churchill, Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. I also want to extend a huge thank you to the Classy Career Girl, for dedicating her time to running this fabulous site. Her work definitely empowers women and Im so happy that a site like hers exists. A sincere thank you to the readers who showed an interest in the book and congratulations to the winner. I hope you enjoy it!
