"Laura Fabiani (iRead Book Tours) - ""An excellent guide for anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, self-doubt and inflicted self-guilt . This non-fiction self-help book is aptly titled. It is truly an interactive guide, much like a workbook that you can use with a pen and highlighter, jotting down your personal thoughts and answering questions as life coach Lorrie Forde guides you along. This is a book that is not meant to just be read. It is meant to move you to action, to get you to think and ponder on how you deal with self talk and barriers that keep you stuck. It will help you develop self-awareness which is key to change. It's a book that can be referred to periodically especially during times in our lives when we experience life-changing events that we have a hard time coping with."" Create With Joy (blogger/professional reviewer) - ""A Really FUN Way To Transform Your Outlook! Although Really Good F Words - Your Interactive Guide To Self-Care most likely caught your eye because of its provocative title, it turns out that it's a really Fun book - a Foundational coaching workbook designed to help you move Forward in your life!

You'll read the stories of others who have gone on this journey before you - and as you Fill in the pages of your book, you'll Find yourself documenting the story of your life."" Michelle D. Garrett (blogger/professional reviewer) - ""As with any resource, you will get out of this book what you put into it. I received a copy of this book to facilitate a review on my website. There were two things that affirmed this book and I were going to work out well together. Flipping through it, the first sentence my eyes landed on was: ""Self-care is not selfish. It is a healthy practice and essential to our ability to care for those around us."" YES! This is something I am constantly sharing within my community. Delving into something that aligns so well with one of my core values is a great feeling. Second, the author relates self-care to cookies. I'm all the way down for that! My sweet-tooth rejoiced and my inner Cookie Monster said ""Yum! Me wants all the cookies!"" In all seriousness, Really Good F Words is truly an interactive guide. There are stories we can all relate to from the author and her clients' personal experiences, fill-in-the blank questions that get you to really reflect on your feelings and actions when it comes to self-care and personal notes from the author to give additional insight and encouragement.This is definitely a book that I will continue to work through and share with others."" Linda Edgecombe: CSP (Hall of Fame Speaker/Author) - ""Lorrie Forde's book Really Good F Words is a brilliant approach to helping people who want more than just lip service when they are motivated to move forward in their lives. This book is not only well written, it gives you simple, real life examples and then has you thinking and writing as you move into your own 'stuff', coming out the other end more aware and energized. Congratulations Lorrie on a transformational book."" Mohini Singh (Order of British Columbia (2008)/Kelowna City Councillor/former TV and CBC Radio journalist) - ""Really Good F Words is filled with inspirational moments and is an incredible read. Life-changing, readable, thought provoking, and an easy path to navigate in pursuit of self-care or any goal a reader sets their sights on."" Francie Greenslade (Author/English Professor) - ""Lorrie Forde is an enthusiastic and affectionate coach. Reading this book is like sitting around the kitchen table talking with a patient friend."""

Author Information

"Lorrie Forde is a daughter, a mother, a sister, a grandma, and a friend. She learned the hard way that balance is her secret ingredient in the analogy of a full and healthy 'cookie jar'. During a twenty-five year career in post-secondary education and through her work as a professional Executive and Life Coach, Lorrie has gathered the research and the tools she needed to bring this book to life. ""I believe everyone deserves to have a coach and this book was a way for me to make that possible. I invite my readers to have fun with the process and to trust that their answers will come-they always do."" Lorrie loves to fill her days with adventure and laughter. She enjoys her work and says, ""I work hard but I work to live-I don't live to work."" She has many favourite quotes but the one she would like to share on the jacket of this book is by Adlai Stevenson who said, ""It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts."""
