Once in a blue moon a book comes along whose equally expansive influence not only crosses all demographics - it connects them. Pure Soapbox … a cleansing jolt of perspective, motivation and humor does this in spades, with the simple reminder of what it means to be human. It is neither a recycled collection of clichés and mantras destined to attract dust on the coffee table, nor a binding of band-aid therapy doomed to be rapidly replaced by the next solution for self-help and sanity! Instead, this timely debut defies categorization, surfacing as an interactive resource that inspires people from any age and walk of life to examine life’s journey and create a path of joyful participation and gratifying purpose. It is a palatable stir-fry of Wayne Dyer’s targeted, yet malleable wisdom, Ellen DeGeneres’ contagious zeal and engaging delivery, Oprah Winfrey’s universal appeal and anticipated promise of betterment.

In Pure Soapbox, Kimberlie Dykeman uses well-known quotes to engage and inspire her readers. In a thoughtful, and often humorous way, Kimberlie comments and opens up common wisdom to reveal new insights and wondrous avenues for new explorations of how to be exactly who you want to be. She pulls from sources as diverse as John Quincy Adams and John Lennon and transforms bite-sized gems into powerful forward-thinking life lessons. Using a conversational writing style, Kimberlie soapboxes a vivid picture of an attainable life beyond society s bigger-better-faster demands.  Pure Soapbox delivers a call-to-action that no one can ignore: Try more, do more, be more, love more! Carpe diem...and bring a helmet!
