Twelve Strategies that will end Female Bullying: Patricia Ferguson, PsyD, is pleased to announce her latest publication in Girl Wars: 12 Strategies That Will End Female Bullying by Cheryl Dellasega, PhD, and Clarisse Nixon, PhD. She tells the story of how her own then teenage daughter was the victim of female aggression during her high school years. Dellasega is the author of Surviving Ophelia, and Patricia specializes in women's issues. So this book is close to her heart in both a personal and professional way.

WritersMonthly.com Presents TIME DAY featuring Joe Robinson, Author of "Work To Live" And Suzanne Schweikert M.D., Contributor to the "Take Back Your Time Day Handbook" With Live Music by Rick Shaw Monkey
Join Us for a Time Day Happy Hour

The very first national "Take Back Your Time Day" event is happening soon, and we plan to celebrate! It takes place on October 24th, 2003, chosen because it falls nine weeks before the end of the year, and symbolizing the nine weeks - or 350 hours more each year that Americans work compared to
western Europeans. The scary truth is that medieval peasants worked less (and got more sleep) than we do.
Joe Robinson, nationally recognized author, in his new book, "Work To Live," shares with us an argument for making vacation and free time a priority in Americašs future. He also contributed a chapter to the Take Back Your Time Day handbook, called "The Ever Shrinking Vacation." In it, he discusses the many reasons why the average American's vacation time has been replaced with more work, and along with it our time with our families, our passion for civic activities, and our enjoyment of life.
Suzanne Schweikert M.D. is a San Diego physician who has seen the serious effects of over-work on many of her patients. In her chapter in the Take Back Your Time Day handbook, "An Hour A DayS Could Keep The Doctor Away," she discusses the effects of time stress and overwork on our bodies and our
mental health. She encourages her patients, and everyone else wanting a healthier life, to take back their time while they still can.
Come to our "Take Back Your Time Day" event for some fun and entertainment. The only thing we ask you to bring is an answer to the question:
What would you do if you had from October 24th until the end of the year to do whatever you wanted, with no guilt, no pressure, and no financial penalty?
We believe you would do amazing things! And there is no Time like "Time Day" to start planning for it. |
