I Am Before I Do Unsolicited Advice on Love - Paperback

Looking into a box of chocolates is always exciting. How do YOU choose the one you want? Do you simply take a bite and put the piece back in if you do not like the flavor? Do you push your finger nail into the bottom to see what is inside? Or, are you a woman who will eat any of them - even if you do not like it - just because it is chocolate? Choosing the piece of chocolate you crave is not far off from choosing the man you desire to spend the rest of your life with... Many will seem tasty and inviting on the outside; but what is inside? A nut? A hard to chew caramel? Or, ... will you choose a yummy butter cream? Ms. Ranee A. Spina, an alluring Venus of today, uses humor to empower young women to lower the divorce rate. This is a book about self-awareness and the power of choice. The focus is on the commitment a woman must make to herself before making a commitment to a long-term relationship. This humorous, but no nonsense, conversational book should be purchased by two groups of people. 1) Single women seventeen and up who have questions regarding self-worth and relationships, and 2) people in those same women's lives that want to send a message but are uncomfortable being the messenger. I AM Before "I Do" is an empowering road map for women, leading them out of the mysterious realm of chance happiness. Every page of this beautifully-designed book is a wake-up call to the would-be victim of avoidable heartache. It says what many family and friends are too timid, too tired, or forbidden to say out loud. The hardback printing of I AM Before "I Do" was a Fresh Voices 2006 Finalist and the Winner of the USA Book News 2006 National Book Award. Ms. Spina is a Relationship and Leadership speaker who performs across the country.
