Customer Reviews

Good condition: Nah

Soooo I just received my copy 04/23/23. This copy is disgusting and maybe I expected the highlighting and underlining, but not an icky copy with whatever this is all over the back cover. I wanted to read this so bad but I can’t even have it near my bed. Well, thanks anyway I guess. Dang.

A must read for all SBWs in Recovery

Do not pass this book by! For over a year I passed this book over on the library shelf until recently. The principles applied in this book will prove to be life affirming for recovering SBWs (Strong Black Women). If you aren't sure if you qualify as an SBW, then you will by the end of the first half of this book. Gandy opens the book with an array of ancient principles from "Ra Un Neter Amen" to "The Holy Bible." She quotes from text and scriptures that apply to ancient pampering techniques and principles. She offers recipes for successfully incorporating these sacred pampering principles into your busy life. In addition the book is very easy to read. It can be read on the train to work, in the bathtub or right before you drift off to sleep at night. I encourage all African-American women of all ages to read this book in order to help improve your spiritual, mental and physical health and well-being. ~Peace and Blessings.

Feeling overwhelmed? STOP, and read this book!

Excellent! The author gently guided me back to loving myself, and reminded me that without self-love, love for others is impossible! The bonus is that the book also includes inexpensive pampering ideas. A must read for ALL women, especially those who feel they are too busy to read it.

Absolutely Fabulous

I must admit that I actually STOLE this book from my mother, and I must say that I am glad that I did. This book really made me think about all the negative aspects of my life and how I needed to clean house. It also gave me some ideas of how to treat myself. Now I put aside time to treat myself. I also returned the copy I stole and bought my own. Thanx, Debrena. Hopefully one of these days I can attend one of your seminars.

Very useful, well-thought out book for ALL women

Debrena Jackson Gandy is an amazing visionary. I truly enjoyed reading her book. She writes in an intelligent, useful and easy manner. Lots of great tips to better your life no matter what your skin color is! I loved it!

A must have for ALL SBW. It's time to take care of ourselves

Debrena Jackson Gandy puts it all in a nutshell. It is time for all women (not only Afro American) to take time out of our lives do times that brings "us" joy. We as mothers, wives, teachers, etc...spend much of time nuturing other and we fail to realize that "we" are our main priority. I really enjoyed this book. Please read this book, it can make difference>>>Take the time! You deserve it.
