Absolute
Love Publishing’s newest release, “The Weight Loss Shift: Be More, Weigh

Christa
Thompson, Founder of Wild and Wise Women:
"Wow, wow, wow. Every
page of this book encompasses an ‘A-HA’ moment. I have never heard of weight loss
spoken like this before, and it has been a long time coming!
This book can make
the difference between bodies we love and the self-hate propaganda that has
become the norm, and I have unofficially adopted it as the “body guide” to “Living
Wild and Wise.”
This is required reading: for you, those you love, your wild
and wise mothers, daughters, sisters, friends. This is the how-to manual, the
final word on the subject, and the map that will take us home to body love,
acceptance, optimum personal health, and well-being once and for all.”
Stacy Garay, as seen in SHAPE magazine:
"Stop struggling, and
start shifting! This is the last weight loss book you'll ever need!"
Elli Boland, Holistic Life Coach:"My mind is having a happy dance party after reading this book! Michelle really gets it and has a way of offering a new perspective that not only makes the most sense of any weight loss approach out there, but also feels more freeing and incredible than any diet could ever feel.
She skillfully weaves powerful inquiry exercises into the mix of mind-blowing insight. You will feel validated, understood, supported, and empowered through this book. I highly recommend this as a must have for anyone desiring to live an inspired and free life, loving the skin they are in, losing weight by being more. My clients are all getting a copy!"
Nick Pfennigwerth,
author of Opening the Flow of Money:
“Most conventional weight
loss advice is flawed with only doing, diets, and temporary results. But this
book, and Michelle's approach, is about loving your body and keeping the weight
off-without the obsession of counting calories and exhausting yourself.”
About the Book

you like to love your body at any weight? Would you like to filter through
others’ body expectations to discover your own? Would you like to live at your

psychology, and spirituality, “The
Weight Loss Shift” helps you discover your ideal way
of being and then helps you transform to living a life free from worry about

Women's History Month Spotlight: Anicia Bragg, an Unlimited Spirit
“The beauty of
taking that all-important first step off the ledge—you discover things you
never would have seen when you were only standing there thinking about jumping,”
said Anicia Bragg, contributor to “Love Like God: Embracing Unconditional
Love.” And, as women, it is in those moments of bravery that we are
able to make the most impact on the world.
The key to
success is an ability to get moving and not let fear hold us back, said Anicia.
“Fear is the foundation of complacency, strife, and struggle. The granddaddy of
all fears is the fear of the unknown. What
if this, and what about that? Fear of the unknown often leads to a lack of
action.”
We have
incredible power as women. “I’m in awe of the awesome power we have: the power
to create life, the power to create change.” It is crucial for us to move
forward and embrace that power. “Take chances. Jump in with both feet. Dive in
without thinking, without analyzing, without checking the temperature, looking
at the clock, or checking your schedule,” said Anicia. “Once you are in the
water, you’ll figure it out.”
That first step
opens up the possibilities of action because “you see the steps needed to get
the job done.” The mind’s attention shifts to what is next, rather than getting
caught in pre-action fears. “When you cast yourself out there, incredible
opportunities come about. New ideas come out of nowhere, new connections and
new people find you, and successes happen that fuel you to do more.”
A
multi-talented entrepreneur, Anicia recently leaped through her own fears to
try something she always has wanted to do, but never seemed able to start:
write a book. After recognizing her fears about the
unfamiliar territory, she “just jumped right into the water.” Once she did, she
was so excited about the process that she began writing two books!
The first, “Set
for Life,” is a memoir that reveals lessons Anicia learned while struggling to
find happiness and inner peace. She said, “I hope my story helps other women
develop their self-image, confidence, and sense of worth so they can create lives
based on following the dreams in their hearts—fearlessly.”
Her second
writing inspiration is a romance novel, “For Love or Money,” a narrative that takes
the reader on a heartfelt journey, shaped not only by Anicia's boundless
imagination, but her own personal life desires and love experiences. It is a
story and a wish birthed into one labor of love. “The beauty of writing fiction
is the ability to mold and shape a story and its outcomes any way the writer
chooses. Instead of letting my fears or my past choices control me or hold me
back, I’m using them to paint my perfect life moving forward, using the
unlimited canvas available to writers, dreamers, and doers.”
It is that
unlimited canvas and an unlimited spirit that define Anicia, who also is developing
Gurls with Game to offer women information on healthy relationships, fashion and classic
beauty, entertainment, home décor, and inspiring daily messages. Anicia also will have a Summer 2014 lifestyle column, "Hollywood
Provocateur" in Viva Glam Magazine, in which she'll talk about women's self-empowerment, the art of entertaining, and relationship topics. We salute Anicia
this Women’s History Month!

Women's History Month Spotlight: Sarah Hackley, Navigating to the Light
Living each day with
the knowledge that a debilitating chronic migraine attack could occur any moment,
Sarah Hackley crafted a way to navigate career, family, and self-care
philosophies into a fulfilling life.
“Thankfully,
there are many places we can go online for support with this issue, places
where we can empathize with each other and find people who understand what
we’re going through,” said Sarah. “This is essential to our mental well-being,
and I am grateful every day that online communities exist. What there doesn’t
seem to be enough of, however, are places where we can get and share practical
advice for living with our illnesses.”
To support this need,
Sarah has created a new blog to compliment "The Migraine Chronicles" called “Practically Chronic,” which
focuses on providing and discussing practical tips for
living with chronic illness and raising kids - an exceptionally good resource
for work-at-home moms, moms with special needs kids, homeschooling moms, and
even those without chronic illness.
Sarah also reaches
out worldwide on a monthly basis to those suffering from and/or living with migraine
through her monthly features with Migraine.com. March's feature was a remarkable success - viewed by over 28,000 people!
Through therapy and
self-discovery, Sarah created, "Finding
Happiness with Migraines: a Do It Yourself Guide," a min-e-book™ that
intuitively guides migraineurs to take charge of their bodies, minds, emotions,
and health.
As a contributor to the
Absolute Love Publishing collaborative book, "Women
Will Save the World,” Sarah shared her personal experience with loss. “The
one thing I had never been prepared for happened, and there was no place to
push the pain. All the corners of my mind, all the compartments of my soul,
were full.” said Sarah. What she gleaned from these moments was not always what
she expected to learn. A poetry chapbook, “The
Things We Lose,” follows this theme of loss and is due to be released in the
summer of 2014.
Sarah also keeps busy as the editor
for Absolute Love Publishing and its imprint, Spirited Press.
Congratulations,
Sarah, on always finding the light – and the love! We love you!
