My "ME-ness" Journey

I am thrilled to offer this review for the book, My "ME-ness" Journey by Pamela A. Reed. I read two books a month and am very selective about what I read. So, when I chose this book I wanted to be engaged, encouraged, inspired and have something to share with other individuals in my circle of influence. Wow, My "ME-ness" Journey did all of the above! I loved the book--it was and is a tremendous blessing. The ME-ness activities really helped me to look deep inside, to be honest with myself and challenge me to change where I needed to or to re-activate in areas that I had slacked off. I absolutely found it refreshing to open each chapter with a poem. I found myself not just reading them, but getting out of my chair, standing and reciting them as if I wrote them myself. I read the book in 11 days-- not wanting to go too fast, but at a pace to absorb all the nuggets of wisdom and to have time to ponder my next move. When I finished the book, I immediately took action on "fixing my body." I made an appointment for my physical--something that I needed to do, but had not made the time. Finally, I want to say that completion of the book ignited a desire to have Pamela Reed come to a gathering I call the TNT Book Cafe and share. I plan to purchase the book for the attendees so they too can be inspired to incorporate the "ME-ness" journey as part of their life journey.

Pam Reed’s “Me-ness Journey” is packed with inspirational words for women! Her spiritual-growth exercises help women to think differently about themselves and release the self-negativity many women carry around. Reed’s book is particularly good for young mothers who are busy taking care of their family and forget the importance of self-care. The Me-ness Journey teaches us the value in embracing ourselves and loving that special person God made us to be! Thank you, Pam Reed, for this up-lifting read.

Learning to embrace oneself or love yourself is for some a lifelong journey. The author, Pamela Reed, knew the atrocities of our youth today. With a great love for our children, she saw a need and addressed it in a direct, well-thought-out plan to engage one as they read each chapter, followed with pages where you could actually respond. Action always causes the mind to retain what’s read, what an outstanding way to engage her readers. My “Me-Ness” journey is learning “To know myself, I must discover myself.” Today I ask the question “Who Am I?” This truly is a book of action… It captures the heart, mind, and soul of the one who dares to read and engage in each activity that follows the chapter. I would like to refer to Pamela’s expertise and research as a developing of the new reader, a guide to living a true life… only true and contentment can follow… I foresee a spiritual journey added to Pamela’s next workbook, study guide, daily devotional… Thanks for putting your journey on written pages… Including your daughters brings yet another dynamic of proof to your “Me-Ness” journey. Awaiting your next chapters!
