What happens when you invite
23 dynamic women, each with their own unique story, to share with each other
about what has inspired them in their lives? In addition to having fun, you find yourself feeling uplifted, touched, and inspired by the beauty
and strength of these amazing women.
A couple of weeks ago Get Up Girl hosted an evening called, ‘Inspire, Network and Swap Books’. The women
attending arrived with three things: 1- Ready to share a short story or a few
sentences about what or who inspired them in their life, 2- A yummy treat
to share with the group, and 3- An inspirational book to swap with others.
The evening’s theme
obviously touched a chord! The October event was sold out, and we had to start
a waiting list. I think it’s safe to say, people love to be inspired, to read,
and of course, to eat! We enjoyed mingling, snacking and getting to know each
other, before circling up to share our stories and a great variety books.
Below is the list
of books the women exchanged at our event (all linked to Amazon). The list includes everything from non-fiction, self-help, to some wonderful memoirs and
fiction. If you have books that inspired you, we would love to know the
titles and authors. We will start another list of books from your comments and
emails. We thank you for your suggestions. Enjoy!
