Words Matter: A collection of vignettes examining the shared spaces of motherhood, marriage, friendship, aging, and femininity
By: Judy Marano
Words Matter is about all the topics we don't like to talk about: aging, parenting, children, adversity. These moments in time can be read by themselves or as part of the whole story of the author finding her voice through her experiences. The stories are shared by many although the names and places may change. We are all struggling to figure out where we belong and how we can grow and evolve as we age. What makes this book unique is that anyone who picks it up will find a story or stories that seem to be written just for them. The author hopes readers take away a sense of comradery as they strive to be their best every day.
About the Author
Judy Marano lives in beautiful Brewster, New York with her husband, two dogs, and two cats. She is the mom of twin boys who are successfully navigating the world as decent, kind human beings. She is a college professor of writing and public speaking as well as a business owner. Educational Awareness, her company, assists high school students through the college process, with her favorite part being the college essay. She does not miss a day on her yoga mat or going for a long walk. She is a beach-loving girl whose happy place is in the Jersey shore.
The Moving Words Review, the movingwords.com:
As we grow older, we become less likely to discuss the more challenging topics that plague our
everyday lives. Some examples of these topics include aging, parenting, children, and adversity.
Author Judy Marano pens an incredible book that faces these topics head-on. Part self-help and
part memoir, this handy book explores some aspects of our lives that serve as a learning source.
Regardless of how old or what stage we're in, the book reminds us that it's never too late to sit
back, relax, and reflect on these challenges.
Empathetic, compassionate, and inspirational-"Words Matter" is a lively guide to embracing
yourself as a growing woman. While the book may seem to focus on female issues primarily,
there is no doubt that plenty of gentlemen will find this book immensely useful. Despite being a
quick read, this book provides lessons we know but may have forgotten. From learning to
embrace mindfulness to the benefits of cleaning-the author does a stellar job of giving us a
friendly reminder now and then.
I love how well-organized this book is. With so many self-help books readily available in the
market, it can be overwhelming to pick just the right book. Fortunately, encountering "Words
Matter" has made this dive into the self-help genre less intimidating. Thanks to the author's
refreshing words and sincere advice, reading this book doesn't even feel like most self-help
books. If I were to compare it to a sensation, reading "Words Matter" feels like talking to your
favorite childhood teacher. While you have grown older and have done other things, her words
and lessons still linger in your heart for years to come.
In summary, the author also does an incredible job of relating to the audience and doesn't waste
time mincing words. Much like the title, every word (and phrase) in "Word
Matters" undoubtedly matters. Suppose you're thinking of giving a close friend or family
member a handy book. In that case, this book is a serious contender for your Christmas shopping
list.
