This book is a daily dose format collection featuring the stories of empowering women past and present. It offers background information, history, short snippets, and quotes from the women themselves. The array of women featured is wide and diverse. January 1st features Emily Dickinson, “A Pioneering American Poet”. Ms. Dickenson is considered to be one of the greatest American poets of all time. Popular present-day figures like Serena Williams, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift are scattered throughout the pages.
There are quite a few historical, interesting women who I’d never heard of before like Wang Zhenyi, a Chinese genius who lived in the 1700s and was proficient in astronomy, mathematics, and poetry. There’s Marianne North, an English Victorian biologist and botanical artist who painted detailed works of plants and landscapes she observed on her travels around the world. One of my nostalgic favorites can be found on May 16th, Clara Barton, who was the founder of the American Red Cross. When I read Ms. Barton’s biography in grade school, I found it very interesting, it inspired my love of biographies and memoirs.

It offers guidance, wisdom, and encouragement for the women who do too much-which is most women. The inspiring words help us take pause from work, children, spouses, family, chores, and household and social responsibilities.
This small but powerful book, was given to me by my late sister-in-law. It is one of my favorite books and most appreciated gifts. It helps me remember to slow down and enjoy the moments. She enjoyed passing along books she thought may have an impact on someone’s life. This little goldmine of wisdom is one of my favorite books and most appreciated gifts. It helps guide me to remember to slow down and enjoy and honor the moments. December 31st’s meditation, at the close of the year, offers a simple Navajo prayer on the beauty of life:
“Beauty
Happily may I walk.
May it be beautiful before me.
May it be beautiful behind me.
May it be beautiful below me.
May it be beautiful above me.
May it be beautiful all around me.
In beauty, it is finished.”
Reflecting on this simple prayer of beauty at year’s end reminds me that no matter what has passed and no matter what is ahead of me, life is always beautiful and to be appreciated.

Hi! I’m Meagan and I’m a 41 year old mom of a high energy almost 9 year old, happily navigating my way through the little boy years. I’ve been married for 14 years. I met my husband over 20 years ago in high school; we got married 10 years later after graduating from the University of South Florida. I currently help run a family business with my parents while blogging about my life and love of DIY projects!
When I’m not at a kids sports game, I enjoy spending time with my family on a beach anywhere. I also love decorating and organizing, fun DIY projects, bargain shopping, and eating out or in! I also love Barbecue anything and a good show or movie on Netflix.
