Been There ... Done That Triumphing Over Teen Drama and Trauma |
Imagine being fourteen again and having a multitude of fabulous women in your life that you could turn to for genuine information, even about the tougher things in life. Even better, what if they also turned you on to how strong and wise and capable you really are? Would you have been better equipped to choose your own path wisely? "Been There … Done That" will be a groundbreaking book and an invaluable resource for countless young women. This is the place for contributor information and project updates. Welcome! QUICK OVERVIEW: * The objective of the book is to help girls to know that they already have the immense inner resources to successfully navigate every aspect of their lives. * This objective will be achieved by bringing together relevant stories about real teen experiences by women who have "been there and done that." * The only pre-requisite to submitting a story is that part of your lifetime experience up to this point must include having been a teenage girl. * Often heeding your inner resources means seeking appropriate outer resources. The book will include a comprehensive resources chapter with information about excellent books, websites, and support organizations for young women. * A portion of the book’s proceeds will benefit various women’s and girl’s charities. PROJECT UPDATE – JULY 2008: You can make all the difference in the world. Don't believe me? Some of the most amazing stories so far have come from the women who didn't think they could write or who didn't believe that they had their lives"together" enough to be a role model - why not give it a try and see what happens? I am actively collecting stories and looking for all kinds of voices so keep those stories coming! Thanks! Kristen |
