What a brilliant book! First of all, let me say that although the title says "Fabulously Fifty And Reflecting It", this wonderful gem by Tamara Elizabeth will help every woman to discover her "Lovable Me", as the subtitle suggests, regardless of her age, background or experience.
It is not a typical self-help book, it is not a typical workbook, and it is not a typical book of essays. In Fabulously Fifty And Reflecting It!, the author combines her life experience with supportive coaching tools and exercises that encourage the reader to search inside her soul and find her own journey to self-love, balance and harmony.
Life is not a fairy-tale, life is real. It's your life and you're living it right now. There's nothing to wait for, nothing to postpone, and most importantly, there's nothing you cannot handle. You're stronger than you think, and you're worthy of everything your life has to offer. You just need to dig a little bit deeper to find the authentic, lovely and lovable you.
In her book, Tamara Elizabeth guides you through the past, present and future, courageously and fearlessly sharing her life experience, bravely pointing out the dark moments every woman goes through sooner or later, and generously offering her wisdom and coaching expertise to find your light and let it shine brightly. As the author says: "Within every woman, there is a wise and intelligent mind with brilliant ideas, filled with love, compassion, and kindness, unselfish thought, and endless thinking. Her name is Wise Woman, but she too is an endangered species."
Fabulously Fifty And Reflecting It! is a brilliant book written with love, care and thorough understanding of women's inner life. It is deep and enlightening but at the same time incredibly humorous, witty and fun to read. Its kind, warm irony makes the book a perfect companion and turns it into an honest, heart-to-heart conversation with a good friend who walks the talk and is not afraid to share her knowledge and experience with you - openly and without judgment.
Tamara Elizabeth's words are like a warm, comforting, soothing blanket. This is a book you will read many times and often go back to for more guidance, support, love and understanding. I suggest you buy this book for your closest friends and then share your insights with each other over a delicious dinner or a cup of your favorite hot beverage. This is a women's book written for all the fabulous women of this world who have a generous soul and giving heart, and who sometimes forget to be there for themselves.
No matter what you've been through, what you life circumstances are, what you're experiencing right at this moment, and whether you're happy, sad, full of joy or overwhelmed by grief, you will find a piece of yourself in this book, and through its pages you will have a magical chance to grow and get to know yourself like never before.
Last but not least, the paperback edition of Fabulously Fifty And Reflecting It! contains beautiful illustrations created by Zenija Esmits that will guide you through the chapters, adding to their charm and making you think even deeper about their message. The quotes that appear throughout the book have obviously been chosen with great care and attention to detail, and make the book an even more uplifting, inspiring experience.
I recommend Tamara Elizabeth's Fabulously Fifty And Reflecting It! to every woman who longs to see her true reflection in the mirror of life and find freedom, courage, zest and a huge dose of moxie in her own heart.
