OT: This message is for anyone who has young girls or grandchildren.
After a very depressing week in the market, I would like to share some uplifting information with you and the rest of our thread mates. My wife and her partner just had their first book, A Toolbox for Our Daughters published.
A synopsis of the book can be found at
216.219.226.31
A couple of the comments found on the back cover follow:
"This practical guide on raising strong,healthy daughters is a must for any mother or father bringing up girls in today's complex society. At a time when we hear more than ever about the difficulties girls face, A Toolbox for our Daughters offers hope in the form of sensible, real life strategies to build girls' self-esteem, encourage their developing talents and strengthen families"
by Marie Wilson, pres of Ms. Foundation for Women, and the creator of Take our Daughters to Work Day
" A Toolbox for Our Daughters is full of thoughtful discussion, pragmatic advice and insightful exercises. I particularly enjoyed their articulation of what they call the Connected Inner Guide, a stimulating and useful conception of intuition."
By Michael Rierra, PhD., Contributor ro CBS's Saturday morning Early Show and co-author of Field Guide to the American Teenager; A Parent's Companion
The book can be found at 16 on line Bookstores, including 1 in the UK. A link to the Amazon page follows:

If you can't tell, I am very proud of Diane and Annette's work and wanted to share it with you and the rest of the gang that has helped me so much this past year. Please check it out and suggest that your friends or family that may be raising young girls do the same. The exercises at the end of each chapter are tailored by age group to help girls from 6 to the late teens.
Since this was the weekend, I hope that you do not mind me introducing a subject about investing in our children, not just for them.
