BOLD BRAVE GODDESS

Be Bold, Be Brave

My book is finally published and available! Just as I celebrate six years of sobriety, you can now read my life story, as well as inspiring quotes from past and current bold brave goddesses. Perhaps you may glean some wisdom from all the life lessons I've learned, which I share with funny anecdotes and classic Celeste sarcasm (likely learned from my doting husband and adorable children). I can't wait to hear your feedback! Please just be kind and constructive. :)
