'Morning Sunshine!' by Robin Meade

>
Giveaway closed.
Congratulations Jammie, Kimberly, Kathy, kngmkellar, and Jaina's Mom!





About the book:
Robin Meade is the poster child for confidence and self-assurance. But the anchor of Morning Express with Robin Meade wasn't always that way. In fact, there was a period in her career when she was plagued with anxiety and panic attacks. In MORNING SUNSHINE, she tells how she overcame her fear of public speaking to go on and achieve her dream of becoming a news anchor.




Robin Meade offers her own tried-and-true four-step approach to building confidence. Her trademark warm, personal style translates from the screen to the page in this book, which will give readers even more insight into the young woman who came out of nowhere to become one of the most popular news anchors on television today.

About the Author:
Millions of viewers each week tune into HLN morning show star Robin Meade and her show, Morning Express with Robin Meade, which airs weekdays from 6 am to 10 am. Her extraordinary, fun personality has attracted an enthusiastic following, including Stephen King, who devoted an entire Entertainment Weekly column to her.

My thoughts:
I have watched Robin Meade for a while now, thanks to my husband.  He is very big into watching the news channels and always has them on during the night, so I would wake up hearing Robin Meade.  I tend to get annoyed with the tv on while I am sleeping, but never minded waking up to her show.  I was excited to read her book, Morning Sunshine!  How to Radiate Confidence and feel it too. I enjoyed reading this book.  I loved how she really shared with the readers all about her lack in confidence and how she used to have anxiety attacks.  She really made us understand how all her relationships through her childhood and early adulthood has effected her and made her who she is now.  I think with trying to apply some of the things she talks about, may help me(or others) feel more confident and have a better self esteem.  She shares many news stories as well as life stories.  She talks about her "therapy" and how it helped her and how it could possibly help her readers.  I liked how she would have many stopping points in the book where she would talk about "What I've learned" and "confidence booster".  In these she would recap what she was  just writing about.  She also would have "The takeaway" at the end of each chapter which she would give the readers points to take with them.  I also enjoyed her " Robins Ramblings" that made you feel like she was more personal with you, the reader.  Reading this book can give you that connection and make you see that we all have gifts and talents.

  8. I love robin and all of the CNN/HLN women. Nancy Grace is my all time favorite. Even though this did not come from the CNN website. Did you know Robin also does a health wise report. While at the doctors office waiting to be seen she hosts the show about health they play on those tvs in the waiting room.
