F* R* E* E* Book Give-away


Hello everyone,

Moving to UT has had it's challenges, but one of my delights in moving here has been to associate with Jennifer Jones Smith.  We have attended a couple family-oriented conferences together, and it's so nice to have a delightful, new professional friend and colleague.

I want to tell you about her new, soon-to-be-released book, 12 Weeks to Greater Peace, Joy and Love in your Family and let you in on how you can get your F * R * E* E* copy by participating in this Give-away
.
ABOUT THE BOOK:

12 Weeks to Greater Peace, Joy and Love is a great family guidebook that will head you in the right direction if your desire is to  transform challenging relationships into loving ones.

Jennifer's book is laced with poignant stories, motivating quotes and poems that make a point, so it is not dull reading. (I even contributed to the chapter in Week 12- Fortifying Defenses.)

Yet, because I work with TODAY's ChangeMakers (men and women who do not give up on creating positive change in themselves, their families and family lines--in spite of obstacles), I always ask myself when reading a book, “Is it relevant TODAY?" 

I knew my part was relevant because, in my contribution, I talk candidly about examining our traditions in the light of eliminating those that are unhealthy.  "Out With the Bad.  In With the Good". TODAY's ChangeMakers know that if our traditions are uplifting and edifying, we tend to feel strengthened and view the family as important, loving, and a place we want to be. If our traditions are full of put-downs, sarcasm, and prejudices, we have little or no desire to participate in them again, or we begin to pass on unhealthy traditions to new generations because of the modeling in our own family of origin.

So now the book is complete and ready to launch soon, and the answer to the question, "Is it relevant TODAY?" is "YES".  

Jennifer  does a masterful job of including timely advice, with chapters on “The War at Home” and “Who’s Breaking In and Stealing”. I appreciated that she doesn’t skirt the issues of addictions and bad habits, but addresses them head-on.

With over twenty-seven years’ experience in marriage, parenting and child development,  Jennifer also offers simple, yet profound wisdom on these essential topics:

* Empower yourself with greater self-love, self-compassion and confidence.
   (Remember peace on earth and in the family begins with “me.”)
* Infuse love, joy and respect into your marriage and family relationships.
* Increase harmony among your children and success with chores and homework.
* Transform the feeling in your home by building unity with an uplifting environment.
