DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE YOU Blog Tour & Giveaway

Book Description:

Before time began, you were imagined, planned, and created for a specific and unique purpose. There is something you were created to do and if you don’t do it, it will never be done. It is urgent that you find the courage to be and do all you were created for. Someone is waiting for you to be you. Have you ever contemplated your particular purpose - the reason you are on this planet? Have you intentionally pursued your true identity and attempted to fulfill your destiny? Do You Have The Courage To Be You? If you answered “No” to any of these questions, but want to answer “Yes,” then life coach, Jenny Williamson, will help you to do just that through the pages of this book.

Do You Have The Courage To Be You? was the provocative question that changed the entire trajectory of Jenny’s life, and became the impetus used to propel her on a journey of discovering her water-walking, giant-slaying, history-making destiny. She prays it will do the same for you. As Jenny neared her fortieth birthday, she felt pitifully ordinary, was mired in mediocrity, and cloaked in comfort. She knew courage would be required for her to leave the known for the unknown.

What does it mean to have the courage to be you? What thought patterns or belief systems keep you from being you? What challenges must be faced? How do you find your unique purpose? Within this powerful book, Jenny answers these questions, while transparently sharing her own story. Her journey led her to a vulnerable group of children - children who are being sold for sex - who needed a home and a family.

Guest Post by Jenny Williamson

Before time began, you were imagined, planned and created on purpose for a purpose. You were meant to matter – to change this world. It is urgent you find the courage to be and do all you were created for because someone is waiting for you to be you. Shove aside your doubts, fears and insecurities. Come one! The world needs you.
We all want to matter, to make a difference. Age, geographic location, ethnic background nor financial status seem to dampen this longing. It is not exclusive to those of us professing a faith in God. The tremendous cross over sales of Pastor Rick Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life, the movies we flock to where scripted heroes save the day in the face of evil and the prime time news segment titled "making a difference" where ordinary individuals are celebrated for changing their worlds in spite of difficult circumstances, all testify to our collective desire for purpose.
Deep in the bush of Tanzania, Africa, I spoke this message at a conference produced by our non-profit organization, Courage Worldwide. Hot under the African sun, on a stage built minutes before I was to speak, I proclaimed to hundreds of people, through an interpreter,"you were created on purpose for a purpose". I was anxious about bringing this message of purpose to people who lived in mud huts, had no running water, electricity or education. Because of their lack, I was hesitant to ask if they longed for their lives to matter. But I did. I even challenged them with the question that had changed my life, "do you have the courage to be you?" No one moved or spoke. Still, I continued, asking if anyone had dreams they believed could change their community and their world. Hands shot up and words I did not understand were shouted at me. I was now the one silent. The interpreter took pity on me and began to translate.
These precious people boldly shared their unique dreams and desires to make a difference in their families, their village and their world. They passionately spoke of starting their own businesses that ranged from schools, to taxi services and chicken coops. They talked of teaching, welding, and singing. I was in awe of what had been placed inside of them. Their circumstances did not dampen their desire to matter. I had labeled them poor. I was wrong. They were rich in faith but just needed someone to encourage them in their dreams – to believe in them so they could believe in themselves.
What about you? Do you too have dreams that you believe could change your community and your world? If so, I encourage you to pursue them. It will take courage but someone is waiting for you. My journey of purpose led me to children who were being sold for sex waiting for a safe home and family. I wonder where your journey will lead you. Do you have the courage to be you?

Waterproof Cell Phone Bag Review (fits most phones)



This is a really nice phone bag. Now I cannot say how good the waterproofing is during full submersion because well I am not crazy enough to dunk my phone in the pool to say yep it worked. I sill say it does work if you are out in the rain, as my husband the big bad biker rides all the time and Florida weather is unpredictable, so you never know when it will rain and for how long, but during his ride home today his phone stayed dry. I do like that it is big enough for most phones and you can add your money, credit cards, ID, whatever to the bag also, and you can use the phone while it is in the bag. I got this case at a huge discount for my honest review.

Skleer Skin Conditioning Gel Review




As a blogger I was given the Skleer Skin Conditioning Gel to try, review and offer a Giveaway.

Th skleer gel is just that  gel formula not a lotion. It has a strange aroma to it, not horrible but not perfumed either. Sorry can't really describe it. The aroma does go away as it dries.  It is all natural with Eucalyptus oil, Tea Tree oil, Cardamon oil, Caraway oil, cinnamon oil, and a few other non oils, but that is the strange aroma.
I have used this for a couple of days and it is helping my dry skin feel better like it says it will, so I will continue to use it.

As of right now you cannot get it on Amazon you can only get it from their website: www.skleer.com

The Very Healthy Spiral Slicer by Varietyland Review & GIVEAWAY



The Very Healthy spiral slicer  by Varietyland was given to me as a blogger in exchange for my honest review.This came to me with the spiral slicer, a lid, and a cleaning brush. When I first opened it, I made spiral carrots to add to salad. It was actually really easy to use. Put the carrot in either end and twist. When it gets smaller use the cap that has pin like pieces sticking out to grab your veggie. If you continue to twist you will get long spirals that will go through the whole veggie. I also made spiral potato fries to put on top of Hamburgers. Huge potatoes will not work so pull out your whole bag to find the ones that will fit in the approx. 2 inch wide whole. this can go in a dishwasher but rinsing it in warm soapy water works great. It's actually kind of fun making the veggie spirals and figuring out how to use them in your recipes. You can make veggie pasta, 
zucchini spaghetti, and also just plain julienes, there is 2 different slicers one at each end. On eis a little bigger then the other. It also comes with 2 amazing ebooks.

WashGuard - Large Lingerie Wash Bags Review



As a blogger I received this product for my honest opinion.
I have used a few different brands of laundry bags and I have to say I was quite impressed by the quality of this one. It is very well made and I have no doubt it will hold up through years of use. I really love the small elastic tab that tucks the zipper in place and keeps it from snagging on clothing in the wash, its definitely a fantastic feature. The laundry came out very clean and I didn't have to worry about anything getting tangled in the wash. All in all I really loved the quality and would definitely recommend these bags.


Hyperbiotics PRO-Women with D-Mannose Review




I have suffered for years with severe stomach problems. My Gall bladder was removed about 23 years ago. My stomach is always hurting I have horrible acid reflux and take pills and antacids daily and have for years. Everything I eat bothers my belly in one way or another. I have been trying different Probiotics lately trying to find the best for me, and I think I finally have. I love the fact that this one is designed specifically for women. I love that it has cranberry in it so no more taking an extra pill each day. I love that you only take it once a day, most of the other probiotics I have tried are taken at least twice a day. I have been taking these for about 2 weeks now, bloating has reduced significantly, pain has reduced significantly, acid reflux has not bothered me near as much. I actually feel like I have more energy also.
From the company:
This formula was designed with the best probiotic strains for women's health and was manufactured in Lafayette, CO with two patents, making it 15x more effective than standard probiotic capsules.
