Inhaltsangabe

Pure Soapbox is neither a recycled collection of clichés and mantras destined to attract dust on the coffee table, nor a binding of band-aid therapy doomed to be rapidly replaced by the next solution for self-help and sanity! Instead, this timely debut defies categorization and has surfaced as an interactive resource to inspire readers of every walk of life, urging them to examine life's journey and create a path of joyful participation and gratifying purpose. In Pure Soapbox, Kimberlie Dykeman uses well-known quotes and aphorisms to engage and inspire her readers. In a thoughtful, and often humorous way, Kimberlie comments and opens up common wisdom to reveal new insights and wondrous avenues for new explorations of how to be exactly who you want to be. She pulls from sources as diverse as John Quincy Adams and John Lennon and transforms bite-sized gems into powerful forward-thinking life lessons. Using a conversational writing style, Kimberlie soapboxes a vivid picture of an attainable life beyond society s bigger-better-faster demands. She offers a practical approach to life and reinforces the fact that attitude is everything, and when facing life s challenges, humor goes a long way! Pure Soapbox delivers a call-to-action that no one can ignore: Try more, do more, be more, love more! Carpe diem…and bring a helmet!

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

A TV and multimedia personality and producer, and formerly a motivation coach and wellness and fitness expert, Kimberlie Dykeman resides in Austin, Texas, again, following two years spent gaining invaluable experience in the media, broadcasting, and entertainment industries in Los Angeles, California. In 1999, Dykeman initially relocated to Austin and launched her private practice where she established The Monday Soapbox Edition, a weekly e-mail that allowed Kimberlie to reconnect with her clientele and reinforce lifestyle changes. The simple e-mail soon flourished into a nationally distributed subscription blast, and Kimberlie earned significant recognition. For years Kimberlie has made a living motivating, entertaining, and educating, whether it be on paper, on-camera, or on-air and now she has brought it all together in her Pure Soapbox.
