- Synopsis
- HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU SAID TO YOURSELF, "IF I ONLY HAD THE TIME..."? This inspiring, one-of-a-kind book tells you how to give yourself the time you're longing for--starting right now... with the gift of one special year. Are you so caught up in your busy life that you've lost sight of you? Do you fantasize about the things you'd do if only you weren't so bogged down with family and career responsibilities? What would you give to make those fantasies a reality? In The Gift of a Year, Mira Kirshenbaum shows you how to take your dreams off the back burner and make them a vital and enriching part of your life. And she shows how every woman can do it--even if you can't take a year off, you can take a year for yourself. You'll be amazed at the unlimited possibilities you'll find once you give yourself permission to explore the essential relationship that has somehow gotten lost in the domestic/professional shuffle: the relationship with yourself. The idea is simple: You give yourself one year to do something you've always wanted to do, whether it's undertaking a major challenge or merely recharging your batteries. The opportunities are as abundant as your dreams. You can go back to school... get in shape... climb a mountain... indulge in daily bubble baths... switch careers... work on a relationship... paint a landscape... start a business... get on top of a problem or take a break from it... or do something you've put off for years--something you've thought about but never got around to doing. The Gift of a Year takes you step by step through this process of self-exploration, discovery, and revitalization, and offers practical advice, guidance, and inspiration along the way, from the "Ten Dream-Discovering Questions" that help you learn what you really want, to "Getting Everyone on Board" for the support you need to make it happen all the way, to how your special year can change your life. This inspirational book is filled with empowering, real- life stories of women who have given themselves the gift of a year, including why and how they did it, what they got out of it, and what they did afterward. You'll also find checklists and quizzes to help you incorporate this unique plan into your everyday existence. Reading The Gift of a Year will make your life more meaningful, more fulfilling, and, most of all, more your own.
