Have you ever wondered if anyone notices all the things you do for others? I know we aren't doing them for that reason, but if no one says anything, we begin to feel, well, taken for granted. Or at least I do. It doesn't take a lot to satisfy me, just a "Thanks," or "That was really nice," or "You are so thoughtful."

The Invisible Woman knows how we feel. “Who's she?” you ask. Well, over and above the fact that she's Nicole Johnson's main character in her book of said title, the Invisible Woman is most of us. A gal who runs fast and works hard and is gradually losing touch with her sense of worth to the world around her.

If you've ever leaned into the hallways of your home or workplace to listen for deserved applause and instead been greeted with a loud silence, you'll love this book. If you've ever felt that what you do is insignificant, you'll be heartened by this valuable little volume filled with such heart. Or if you are in need of a little comfort and cheerleading, you'll want to peruse this stellar offering.

I have read and reread this bedside wonder, and I am encouraged each time I pick it up. And it fits tidily into a purse to take to work or for travel as well as being an ideal girlfriend gift, Secret Sister present, or stocking stuffer.

Nicole dedicated this book to her sister, who has 11 children. We can only imagine all that she does in a day!

I personally think every woman should own this treasure, and that it should be once-a-month required reading to help keep us in good mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

God Bless and Happy Reading,
