Be You: 20 Ways to Embrace Who You Really Are
Entrepreneur and mother to a special needs child, Lisa Leonard inspires us to stop trying to be all things to all people so we can find joy in who God created us to be.
Do you set your own needs aside as you help others reach their dreams? Whether we are filling a sippy cup one more time, carpooling to endless soccer games, or helping colleagues with their emergencies at work, many of us put ourselves second every day. We end up exhausted, empty, and frustrated.
In Be You, Lisa Leonard guides you to let go of the burdens you were never meant to carry, understand that you don't have to fix everyone and everything, and trust God to take care of you and the people you love. Through 20 simple invitations to be authentically yourself, Lisa helps you explore what life can look like when you give yourself permission to:
be honest
be real
be messy
be loud
be loved by God
Be You is a thoughtful gift for the women in your life who do too much. With its colorful interior design and peaceful feel, Be You invites you and those you love to rest in God's life-giving grace on even the busiest days. Here you will find the you who lives life with joy as you receive God's love--just as you are.

Favorite quote: "To be you, you've got to know yourself; and to know yourself, you've got to make space for quiet."
I enjoyed reading this 20-day book on embracing who you really are. The short entries and questions at the end of each day made it an interactive experience. In so many ways I felt like the author's thoughts were so similar to my inner thoughts and I felt connected each day I read. She focused on the lies we tell ourselves and shows us how to reverse those lies to make them our beautiful truth.
