You can find the romance of your dreams, and this book will tell you how.In Happily Ever After, author Wendy Paris offers a contemporary spin on ten classic fairy tales, going behind the scenes with these legendary romantic heroines to show what they did to live happily ever after. Contrary to popular belief, fairy-tale heroines are not weak and passive. They are noble, brave, optimistic women who know that the formula for success in a chaotic world is to hold fast to their own beliefs despite what fate happens to throw their way. Ultimately, it is their character that saves them, not the prince on the white horse.Take Cinderella, for example. Despite having a less than ideal job, she didn't let bitterness and regret give her an ulcer, bad skin, and frown wrinkles. She knew "cinder maid" was a job title, not a life description.She didn't hide in her carriage, crying, "I can't go to the ball by myself! Everyone will think I'm a loser! " She had the courage to attend a party alone.At the stroke of midnight, she didn't cling to the prince's hand and wail, "Save me from my miserable life!" She had the confidence to know that if he liked her, he'd come calling.This humorous, heartfelt book shows women how to focus on their strengths and character rather than resort to manipulative strategies to "land" a man. The perfect antidote to negative dating guides that just don't work, Happily Ever After offers practical, empowering advice that's been proven effective for the last 500 years and is still relevant today.

Self-Esteem Junkie

Howie Junkie

From the Desk of the How-To Junkie for the Self-Esteem Junkie:

Howdy friend, who wants "to build self-esteem",

When you look in the mirror - who do you see? How do you feel about this person? Do you see somebody who is a proud and strong individual...or someone who could sure used a little bit of self-esteem and confidence boost?

"Self-esteem" was a word that you probably first heard when you were in grade school, along with others like "respect", "integrity", and "motivation" all hung up as posters in the classroom should have been a clear indicator of trying to tell you something - how much they would eventually impact your life.

And guess what - your teachers weren't wrong at all, were they? To this day, it still boggles your mind to how important these traits have become.

Self-esteem may as well be one the most important ones, involving how you perceive yourself that affects your overall behaviors. One day you might feel like you can conquer the word while the next you feel like you hiding in your shell afraid to put yourself out there.

Does this mean self-esteem is ever coming and going? Not necessarily. If you truly have solid self-esteem, no matter what day it is or how you feel at the moment can affect it, otherwise it's not real self-esteem - and neither are you a Self-Esteem Junkie.

By being a Self-Esteem Junkie, you will know:

How to give yourself a self-esteem makeover to be the new "best you".
How to discover your own secret talents to build your self-esteem.
How to be love yourself no matter what by being your own biggest fan.
How to create an alter ego avatar of who you are so it's not a facade.
How to not give a damn about other's negativities bringing you down.
..and full-satisfied junkie more.
The only reason why you're still interested in this is because you know you have a "self-esteem" issue, so fix that issue now. Improve your self-esteem!

Signing off. Your friend,

The How-To Junkie
