Be Empowered! Eat Chocolate with Breakfast by Jan Bethancourt -- GIFT

Bethancourt, Jan Be Empowered! Eat Chocolate with Breakfast, 96 pgs. Janbeth Designs LLC, 2011. $14.99. Content: G

What started out as pick-me-up notes to the author's college-aged daughter turned into a little book of original sayings designed to instill confidence and gratitude. The axioms are interspersed with illustrated hearts, and their conciseness and spirit reminded me of daily affirmations. The book left me smiling and feeling uplifted. It could work well as a gift, or, if in a class, to inspire students to write their own affirming statements to themselves or others. Note: Due to religious overtones, it may not work in every classroom.

GIFT. Reviewer: Caryn
