Do you take care of others and have nothing left for you? Has life kicked you with a wallop or two, and you wonder if you're woman enough to get up and get going again?

Women today juggle so much. We keep a mile-long list of must-dos; we want to be there for everybody even when we can't! Many women care for young children and aging parents at the same time. Women juggle pregnancy with paying the mortgage and job deadlines with soccer schedules. Mature women handle adult children who boomerang home following messy divorces, layoffs or post-bubble economic meltdowns.

So what's a woman to do? Live a BIG Life! says author Joan Burge. Each woman is destined for greatness and for the grand adventure to live a fearless, fully functional life!

The Live a BIG Life! story is for all women. Whether she is a doctor, stay-at-home mom, teacher, pilot, retiree, writer, architect, public servant, entertainer, waitress, caretaker or judge, every woman is a work in progress.

In this memoir, Joan speaks with wisdom and clarity to every woman in every walk of life, tackling the multi-faceted ever-changing roles of today's woman with candor, wit and straight talk. Her stories will inspire you to hang on no matter what, to see the light in the darkest night and to know you are stronger than you imagine so you can remove whatever holds you back from becoming all you were created to be: fully invigorated in every aspect of life.

Wherever you are in life, whatever your age or marital status, Joan's story will lift your spirit and motivate you to reach for your dreams despite any obstacle or barrier.

In Live a BIG Life!, Joan Burge speaks to women on courage, faith, and of course, red lipstick!
