What a great book! Most of the things Cara writes about are things I intend to work on in my own life. I like how she puts challenges at the end of every chapter.

I'm pretty sure Cara Sue Achterberg is a super hero and I'm pretty sure I'm jealous.
I won't be for long though! This book isn't really set into "chapters" like a normal self-help book.
Achterberg gives "challenges" for each aspect of your life instead of "suggestions" and the further divides them into 3 levels: basic, serious, and extreme.
From home, family, gardening, food, even celebrations, there is a challenge for just about everything. It's written in digestible bits so that it's easy to flip to what you need at a certain time without it feeling overwhelming. This is a BIG plus in my book. I often find guides are too big, too complex for me. There's a "Where to Start" section at the beginning of the book. However it's roughly 50 pages, and it's sectioned into the big subjects that the book tackles, so it's easy to read that one little sub-chapter then turn to the corresponding section of the book. Such a great set-up.
I almost feel bad about marking and highlighting in my book since Cara Sue Achterberg was kind enough to sign it, but I'm pretty sure she would want me to use this book to its fullest extent which includes me holding a sharpie and writing notes in the margins.
