Introducing the Debut Release in the Big Sister Guides Series!
"Your Big Sister's Guide to Surviving College" (Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing, Inc.) is an insightful map to help girls navigate the journey through life as a college student. told in a "big sister to little sister" manner.
About ten years ago, I wrote a freshman year college survival guide for my little sister that I presented to her when she moved into her dorm room for the first time. This amateur, Kinko's produced spiral bound book contained advice on every aspect and scenario of what a young girl can expect in college and how to handle herself. My material was largely based on the experiences and sometimes the mistakes made by me and my friends. I recently resurrected the piece to bring it to all college-bound young ladies.
I remember what i t was like having to learn the ‘hard way’ about life on campus and life in general. For many girls, going away to college is literally a crash course on becoming a woman and being completely responsible for yourself. My goal is to ‘soften the blow’ a bit and help young ladies learn life’s lessons armed with common sense and a little big sister wisdom.
Happy New Year!
Another new year always means new beginnings and resolutions. For me, my new beginnings are of course being a newly published author and preparing for motherhood again. My resolutions… well, I really haven't made any. I can't recycle the ones from last year… losing weight is not an option when you are 5 months pregnant. But here is one that I know is on my list of priorities for this year and the years to come… to make a difference. I know that's pretty broad but I believe that is what I feel I need to do. Make a difference in my own household, to a member or members of my family, to a friend or friends, to the young ladies I hope to reach with this book, to other women (of any age)who also may need a "Big Sister". To touch a life in some way… to make someone smile… to help someone make a change in their life for the better. That's my new year's resolution… one I know I can keep!
