Blog Book Tour with Giveaways!

Just in time for New Year's resolutions goal-setting, I have a unique book to tell you about. The clever title, Only Nuns Change Habits Overnight, grabbed my attention and I knew I needed to take a look at this one! At first I was a little taken aback by the subtitle, 52 Ways to Master the Art of Personal Change, thinking it might be a year-long book, but these are short suggestions which are fairly simple to implement. Simple, not easy, or else the book wouldn't be needed! With chapters like Warning: Dates on the Calendar are Closer than They Appear (on procrastination) and If Everything's Coming Your Way, You're in the Wrong Lane (on obstacles), the author covers many of the common things that women struggle with.

BOOK SUMMARY:
Every woman longs for change in some area of her life. Unfortunately, fear, fatigue, adversity, heartbreak, past failures, and even the choices of other people get in the way and make lasting change seem out of reach. Having been there herself, Karen Linamen knows exactly how to take readers from where they are to where they want to be.

In Only Nuns Change Habits Overnight, she examines 52 powerful actions readers can apply to any change they long to embrace. Her insights apply to career, finances, personal health and fitness, relationships, faith—in fact, every facet of a woman’s life.

Blending laugh-out-loud humor and sage advice, Linamen shows readers the link between dissatisfaction and transformation, how to remodel habits, the little-known truth about procrastination, how to generate the energy they need to pursue the life they desire, how to benefit from options and resources they never dreamed they had, and much, much more!
