Life rarely works out exactly as we plan. Rejection by a cherished friend, the onset of an unexpected illness, struggle with body image and self-perception -- these experiences may challenge us, but our triumphs come to define us. We find comfort, joy, tears, and laughter in the wisdom, insight, and empathy we gain. In Note to Self, thirty dynamic women share their inspirational stories with writer, director, and television and film producer Andrea Buchanan. Celebrities such as Grammy Award-winning rock star Sheryl Crow and Emmy Award-winning actress Camryn Manheim join stuntwoman Stacy Courtney, football player Katie Hnida, seventy- year-old HIV-positive grandmother Beverly London, and alcoholic-turned-interventionist Candy Finnigan to reflect on their unforgettable stories of redemption. Punctuated by tears and laughter, these poignant tales are full of incredible strength, invaluable knowledge, insurmountable odds, helpful survival instincts, amazing willpower, humiliation -- sometimes on a national level -- and a hefty dose of humor. These unstoppable women emerged stronger, wiser, and more successful from the often painful and humbling turning points in their lives. While none of their unique stories will fit neatly on a sticky note you can tape to your wall, each of them carries an indelible message that can.

I have found it be a compendium of strength, fortitude, smarts and courage from 30 completely different women. The myth that life is hard only if you deserve it gets a good smack here as these ladies, who were just living their lives as best they could, found themselves facing odds that anyone would find challenging - and ...

It reminds us that no matter who we are, we will all go through emotionally and physically challenging times in our lives, but we can still survive and even be stronger as a result. Not only do these stories have uplifting and inspirational messages, they're funny and touching as well. This one is highly recommended! Rating - we are not alone i picked up note to self just to give it a quick glance and an hour later after stopping only to get a kleenex for my tears, i laid it down to go to work and came home and finished it. the stories are so touching, deeply moving and incredibly inspiring and uplifting. this book is for anyone who has ever felt like they were alone in a struggle. these brave women, celebrities and not, tell their stories with such candor and humor, its amazing. i cant ... Read More Rating - What an amazingly beautiful book! I can't believe how one book with 30 sotries can speak to the entire female population! Never have I read a book with such honor, grace and boldness before. I feel like I know each of these women as I know so many that can identify with their individual hardship, heartbreak and triumph. Beautifully done. Can't wait until the next 30 stories comes out! Thank you Andrea Buchanan for taking the time to bring all these courageous womens' stories together ...
