Sparkle Phillips' last boyfriend dumped her flat, and that was the greatest gift he could have ever given her. That breakup sent her life into a tailspin where she was forced to examine what had been happening with the men in her life for the past 45 years.
Sparkle went through an amazingly revealing process that helped her destroy all the 'old programming' she had about men and figure out why every relationship she'd had with men were basically carbon copies of each other. Once the culprit had been found, the false foundation of 'love' in her life was released and rebuilt. Now she is happily married to a man who can only be described as her soul mate and her partner in love, life, work and more.
Sparkle is a systems analyst. So being an observer, seeing patterns and determining solutions is what she does for a living and she does it well. When she realized her experience actually had duplicatable steps, she decided to re-live and re-analyze the steps it took her to release the past so that she could embrace the future. Her story is funny, insightful and very identifiable. If you're still having troubles in your love life, then this book will give you "Aha Moments" and help you realize some of the false foundations you've built your love life on.
Whether you're a man or woman - looking for a man or a woman, these principles apply.
It is an easy read, loaded with humor and epiphanies. Enjoy...
*****
Review: “What I really loved about your “Finding Your Soul Mate” was that it was down to earth. It was easy to read and understand. Nothing in it was difficult, and having Sparkle's experiences as examples helped provide a real-world, step-by-step process that allowed me to reach my goals too. I now have the woman of my dreams. I didn’t have to 'settle for less' as my new love is everything I dreamed of (plus things that I didn’t and that made her that much better)! I would say to anyone desiring a true relationship, "Finding Your Soul Mate" is a must-read book!”

It Worked for Me is filled with vivid experiences and lessons learned that have shaped the legendary public service career of the four-star general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell. At its heart are Powell's "Thirteen Rules"—notes he gathered over the years and that now form the basis of his leadership presentations given throughout the world. Powell's short but sweet rules—among them, "Get mad, then get over it" and "Share credit"—are illustrated by revealing personal stories that introduce and expand upon his principles for effective leadership: conviction, hard work, and, above all, respect for others. In work and in life, Powell writes, "it's about how we touch and are touched by the people we meet. It's all about the people."
A natural storyteller, Powell offers warm and engaging parables with wise advice on succeeding in the workplace and beyond. "Trust your people," he counsels as he delegates presidential briefing responsibilities to two junior State Department desk officers. "Do your best—someone is watching," he advises those just starting out, recalling his own teenage summer job mopping floors in a soda-bottling factory.
Powell combines the insights he has gained serving in the top ranks of the military and in four presidential administrations with the lessons he's learned from his immigrant-family upbringing in the Bronx, his training in the ROTC, and his growth as an Army officer. The result is a powerful portrait of a leader who is reflective, self-effacing, and grateful for the contributions of everyone he works with.
Colin Powell's It Worked for Me is bound to inspire, move, and surprise readers. Thoughtful and revealing, it is a brilliant and original blueprint for leadership.
