My New Bible

I love this book. It is my new bible for living life in a warm and loving way without letting everyone suck the life out of me. I can prioritize and take time for me without feeling guilty. I have short to do lists, and I don't freak out or dissolve into tears when something unexpected happens. THANK YOU Mary Lo Verde!!!!!!

Mary walks her talk.

Mary's book is on a subject that everyone is talking about ......being too busy, feeling disconnected, always on the run with too little time and a never ending to do list. Can we all relate or what? Probably one of the ideas I most liked about Stop Screaming at the Micro-Wave is Micro actions,......taking baby steps. Breaking a task or goal into little tiny micro actions to get the ball rolling,.....I find as I look at my goals and projects that I often get exhausted just thinking about all the steps that are necessary and get completely frozen in my tracks and never get started. I recently heard Mary speak at a local bookstore here in Denver explaining how she began writing this book. Mary said.."I would first pace around the computer, and than write one word..the...after doing that I thought well I wrote one word, I need to complete a sentence, well.....I wrote a sentence I guess I better write a paragraph, and before I knew it I wrote a page which turned into a paragraph and that is how I wrote my entire book.....one micro action at a time!!" Everything in this book I get a very strong sense that Mary walks her talk and has used these ideas not only on herself but her audience of thousands of people have given her postive feedback. If you are too busy use Mary's advice.....when you can't keep up! Connect! Mary's book is a great book this winter to snuggle up with on one of those winter nights you need to unplug the phone, turn off the television and shut the world off and read something that is going to make a difference in your life, make you laugh and see parts of yourself through out the book!!

Incredible insights and tips to balance our crazy lifestyles

I felt Mary LoVerde was writing to me personally about connecting to those things that are really important in our hectic lifestyles, particularly when we are being slammed by the realities of everyday life: work, family, obligations and crises. This book will help you to "connect" - through amazing insights and then by providing practical and useble recommendations and strategies. This is a truly motivational read that will help you get a handle on why you're screaming at your microwave or other inanimate objects, and what to do about it. Buy one as a gift for someone you care about, but don't give away your own copy - it's that good!
