Wichita, KS (Nov. 2006) – Women are notorious for trying to accomplish too much. They have been told they can and should “have it all” – the career, the family, the friends, the personal trainer. At what expense are they getting it though? Most career women find their days and nights packed to the brim with activity – they have no time to relax, to think, or to enjoy all this activity. They don’t have time to breathe much less truly experience and appreciate all that is happening around them. And then to top it off they constantly feel like they aren’t doing enough. On the rare occasions when the fog of activity clears, they wonder “is this all there is to life.”
“Just for Today” is a book full of motivational and inspiring messages for busy women. It encourages them to slow down just for one day and experience all that life has to offer. It is written for the woman that finds herself running in a thousand different directions each and every day. This book includes the heart and thoughts of a hectic life. It is just one way every woman can take a deep breath, step back, and focus on what’s really important . . . just for today.
The author, Mari Peck, a training consultant, is a self-professed work-a-holic that has spent the majority of her professional career in the “running a thousand different directions” state of being. After spending the majority of her career not only focused on career advancement but obtaining both her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees while raising two children, she had an epiphany. One day she looked at her children, realized her “baby” was now 6’4” tall and she had somehow missed (while being there physically every day) a majority of his life. Her mission is to help other women gain a new perspective before too much time passes. The book is scheduled for release in mid November.
Just for Today, ISBN #0-595-40726-9 (paperback) and #0-595-67827-0 (hard cover), is available now at www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, www.maripeck.com and www.iuniverse.com ($13.95 paperback, $23.95 hard bound). The author chose to self-publish this book because she is the typical inpatient Type A personality and set the goal to have it available in 2006.
