Mothers Need Balance: Atlanta's Newest Author Provides a Resource to Get It
It is 2009 and mothers still bear the brunt of a family's needs. Mother's Day 2009 can be the beginning of changing that reality.

ATLANTA, GA, May 07, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- While many still blame its members for "dumping" family responsibilities in mothers' laps, the proverbial "no" begins with Mom herself. To be healthy and whole, mothers must maintain balance in their lives. One way to achieve this balance is through meditation, specifically with one of Atlanta's newest book releases, Bootlicked to Balanced: Healing the Mind, Freeing the Spirit.

Bootlicked to Balanced, penned by Atlanta native Candi Dugas (http://candidugas.com), asks readers, "At this very moment, are you, your greatest self?" As an inspirational author, Dugas throws this question out into the open, a challenge to find and face one's true self. From this journey, readers learn to take care of their whole selves - spirit, soul, and body.

In her book, Bootlicked to Balanced, Dugas is one of few authors who specifically leads readers on a God-seeking journey through mediation and Christian scripture. Relating her own experience of soul-searching and finding God, she guides readers daily along a four-week meditative journey, beginning by introducing the reader to the concept of meditation and the need to be still. Dugas introduced a Christian meditation bible study to an Atlanta congregation in 2004. Former student, Audrienne Light told Dugas, "Your insight to meditation and your sharing it with me, changed my life! I cannot wait to get your book. I really need to re-focus."

In Bootlicked to Balanced readers engage in four weeks of daily meditations, all the while walking along the author's journey toward freedom and be-ing. For the first three weeks, readers are guided to meditate in silence or with music, with attentive breathing, and with movement. For the fourth week, readers may choose, each day, which form of meditation they will practice. The journey is one of discovering and reconciling the self's essential parts in order to move closer to God.

Let your inner voice speak, face your issues, converse with God, and become your greatest self.

Through 10 am, Friday, May 8, 2009 Bootlicked to Balanced: Healing the Mind, Freeing the Spirit is available at a special Mother's Day price of $11.99 at http://candidugas.com.
