I truly wish this book had been available to me when I was a homeschool mom! However, and this is important, I gleaned so much from this book, it was amazing! It taught me so much about keeping on track, making time for those goals, not getting sidetracked, and all those other things we all seem to do on a daily basis.
It doesn't matter if you want to be a writer, or an artist, or whatever, Tricia will help you to focus on your goals and get more done in your day without the "going crazy" feeling that so many of us feel when we try to work from home plus raise great kids, plus have a happy marriage and keep our home comfortable for our family. This is not a "super woman" book - it's about exactly what the title says - getting balanced.
The greatest thing I came away with in this book is that I can't limit God - He is limitless and He will use me and the talents He gave me. I also learned that it's okay to be me! My talents and dreams were put there by God and, if He's called me to do it, it's okay! I don't need the approval of everyone on the street to do what He has called me to do.
This is about finding YOUR balance. Not your mother's, your best friend's or anyone else. It's about being faithful to what God has given you and called you to! It sounds so simple, but this was huge for me and this book was really life and thinking changing for me!
This is a definite 5 out of 5 star book! I have it on my tablet and it's going to stay there! It's just a wonderful, wonderful book!!
