About the book: Gems of Wisdom: For a Treasure-filled Life
To Order: (Pending due to website crash. So sorry for the inconvenience.)
Gems of Wisdom goal is to empower and educate while encouraging personal growth, healthy lifestyle, and intentional living by uncovering the unique purpose knit into each person’s DNA. Often self-defeating behaviors (our pirates) stop us from overcoming victimhood. Now you can battle those pirates so you are no longer a victim, but victorious! Fill your treasure chest with the gems of wisdom mined from life’s difficulties and overflow those treasures into the lives of others. Welcome to your treasure hunt! May your treasure chest be filled to over flowing.~Angie
