Transforming Your Reflection: Changing Your Self-Image

When you look in the mirror, what do you see?

Your answer might sound like…

 A chubby girl with yellow teeth, a pointy nose, and frizzy hair. 

 Or maybe it sounds more like…

 A girl with damaged goods—someone who has messed up far past the point of no return.

If this is what the view of your reflection looks like, then I think it’s time for a little transformation of your reflection. And I’m not talking about the one in the mirror. (Continue reading)

Win an Autographed Copy of Karen Kingsbury's "Fifteen Minutes"!

I am thrilled to announce the release of my favorite author, Karen Kingsbury's ("Queen of Christian Fiction"), latest novel today, Fifteen Minutes.

I have received an autographed copy from her publicist and am so happy to give it away to help spread word about Karen's release. I love every book that I have read of hers, and Fifteen Minutes is no exception. Karen has the gift of pulling her readers inside a story and taking them on an emotional, yet entertaining journey. If you haven't read a book from her Life Changing Fiction™, I highly advise that you do. And what better chance to do so than through a giveaway?

Back Cover Blurb:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury comes a dramatic story about fame, true love, and the cost of having it all. 

Zack Dylan made a promise to God and his college sweetheart as he left his family’s horse farm in Kentucky to compete on the popular reality television show Fifteen Minutes: If he makes it, the fame won’t change him. 

Overnight, Zack is the nation’s most popular contestant, a country singer with the looks and voice of a young Elvis. As his star rises, Zack is asked to compromise and quiet his beliefs, and also some­thing more. Something Zack could never have imagined. Just as America is falling in love with Zack, just as he’s on the verge of winning it all, his choices lead him to the brink of personal disaster. 

At the same time, Reese Weatherly, a thera­peutic horse instructor, is no longer sure about her relationship with Zack, or the wedding they had dreamed about. While Zack advances from one round of the competition to the next, an offer comes to Reese—one that will take her to a home halfway around the world. 

Then Chandra Olson—reigning diva pop star and one of the Fifteen Minutes judges—intervenes. Chandra has suffered so much public pain and pri­vate agony since her days as a Fifteen Minutes contestant. Now she wants just one thing: meaning. 

Can Chandra’s private losses help Zack find his way, or will his fifteen minutes of fame cause him to lose the life he once loved? Fifteen Minutes is a story of character, compromise, and the cost of having it all. A story that raises the question: Who are the real winners?
