I also have a story that would shock most people and reading yours only confirmed that I am not alone in my pain and suffering and my journey to finding inner peace. You have helped me more than you know and for that I am grateful.
Thank you all.

VOLUME II
I cried, I laughed, I cried more, I went through so many emotions reading that book – never in my wildest dreams did I think that by picking up and reading that book my entire self would change so much. I didn’t even really expect much from this book to be honest. After the first story I couldn’t stop – I read the whole thing in one sitting.
Kindest regards, Merryl H.

This is a must read for men and women alike, young or old! After having the pleasure of meeting one of the contributors, I ordered the book online the same day! I so enjoyed reading and learning from all of the amazing women in the book that I ordered two books for women in my personal life that had a profound impact on me- my mom and mother-in-law. I can’t wait for another edition of this to be published!!!

I have the privilege of knowing a number of the contributors to the Overcoming Mediocrity anthology in real life. Some of them are fellow members in one of our area’s chambers of commerce. So when I saw Christie Ruffino’s notice that she was putting this book together, I was definitely anxious to read it.
One of the characteristics that unite many of the contributors is that their path from mediocrity to magnificence begins when going through a personal crisis, be it with health, finances, relationships, family or career. But taking Winston Churchill’s advice of “When you’re going through hell, keep going,” these ladies kept on their path by being open to new opportunities and perspectives. Definitely have a renewed appreciation for the contributors I do know. I think women who are facing huge challenges will be encouraged by many of the stores.
When I received my copy from Christie, she remarked that this Overcoming Mediocrity project has taken on a life of its own. Congratulations to Christie and all the other contributors on their courage in sharing their stories with the world. We’ll stay tuned for Volume II!
