Taming your Alpha Bitch by Rebecca Grado & Christy Whitman

Taming Your Alpha Bitch: How to be Fierce and Feminine (and Get Everything You Want!) is the latest book which I got to review. The title really caught my attention.

I’m sure that everyone in some point of time have encountered someone who comes off as overbearing and has a really condescending attitude.  Sometimes we ourselves play the part of Alpha Bitch and it has made relationships with others sometimes unbearable.

Rebecca & Christy’s book spellings out the traits of the different types of alphas which we may meet.

– Forceful alpha

– Challenging alpha

– Competitive alpha

– Disruptive alpha

Fear and insufficiency drive them and bring out the worst in a person.  The primitive  alpha  start to anticipate the worst possible outcome in virtually every situation and unwittingly become our own worst enemies. It leads to one being constantly high strung and stressed up due to a lot of unwanted thoughts streaming constantly through your mind.

By focusing on the shift on all that is missing, wrong, and insufficient the alpha bitch becomes a very bitter and hated person who is avoided and isolated from the rest.

There is a a way of turning  Transforming Lack and Limitations into Sufficiency and Abundance. This is explained clearly in the book.

I enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot of how one can empower yourself in your femininity .

I certainly recommend this book.

Cougar Cub Tales:The Sneezy Wheezy Day


Cougar Cub Tales:The Sneezy Wheezy Day by Sharon Cramer is one book out of three from the series of book under Cougar Cub Tales. This book which is aimed at  young readers age 2-8 is filled with lovely water colour painting like illustrations of the cougars and the other forest animals who they visited . I loved the vivid colours associated with each animal and how aptly it represents them.

Cramer’s book  focuses on about the love and bond between the siblings made up of a brother and sister Cougar pair. Both of them search around for a cure for  the boy cougar’s ailments as he seemed rather unwell that day. Girl cougar brought her brother to visit the white owl, royal king stag, Bobby the goose , the fox and a few others looking for a cure for him. They tried the suggested methods suggested by the various friends but Boy cougar only got worst after each visit.

In the end it was care and tea made by his sister that made his flu bug go away. The love and care of the sister for her sick brother is something which is admirable and can be modeled upon.

Even though this book is aimed at young readers but the language used in the book seems beyond the comprehension of a child that age. I would recommend it for intermediate readers instead as I had to do a lot of explanation about the use of  words like  “admirably kind” and “taken a chill” as my kids are not used to Sharon Cramer’s writing style.

Note: For the week of  Jan 23-27 you can download the book free from Amazon.
