Reviews:
"The Girl Guide is
a game-changer and should be in every girl's backpack." ~ Ali
Cross, author of the Desolation series
"The perfect
remedy for a world obsessed with airbrushed perfection. A must read for
every girl who has ever wondered what it means to be
strong. Girls who can find beauty and strength within should be--and
can be--the new normal, and The Girls' Guide is there
to show the way." ~ Danyelle Leafty, author of The
Fairy Godmother Dilemma series
"It's easy to understand, professional and relevant without being preachy, and really delves into the situations and emotions that girls out there are experiencing...I highly recommend this book."
~ Michelle
McLean, author of Homework Helpers: Essays and Term Papers (Career
Press 2011) and To Trust a Thief (Entangled Scandalous 2013)
"It's like an older sister and a mom rolled into one helpful book, all with the intent of helping me discover the best "me" there is. Definitely something I'd recommend to girls who are feeling lost...or just overwhelmed"
~ Shayna, High
School Junior
"The Girl Guide is an easy-to-read, profound book that allows teenagers to understand it's the world that is different, not the teenager. I'm picky about the type of books that I introduce to my kids and I must say, this is one of the superior ones." - A Reader's Refuge
"For those parents, librarians, teachers and counselors who have teens that are struggling to find their own identity, or even that enjoy getting to know themselves better. Definitely a delicious pick!!" - Novel Nutritious

Post #1:
Summer,
Girl Guide Style
The
Girl Guide is all about finding yourself and your unique voice in the world.
And what better time to start on that journey than summer! Summer is a great
time for renewal. The days are long, the weather, perfect, and the vibe –
magical. So, as you’re taking a break from school or work, catching up with
friends and family, and venturing out for a special vacation, why not add a
little “inner” journey to your adventures and spend part of the summer
discovering the “real” you?
Journeying
inwards, like any trip, requires a map, some supplies, and an adventurous
spirit. Fortunately, these things are easily acquired. A journal can become an
ideal map to the inner you. Use it as you spend a little time each day
reflecting on your dreams and hopes. Take stock of what you’ve accomplished so
far, and plan where you’d like to go in the future. Then, once you have a good
sense of your inner dreams and desires, make a plan for the future. Add new
experiences, read different books, complete projects you’ve previous abandoned.
In doing these things you can begin to cultivate your own authenticity.
And
don’t forget to pack an adventurous spirit as you journey inwards. Embrace the
you that lives within. You may be surprised the “you” you can get to know this
summer.
