Who is The Giving Woman?

She feels a powerful pull to be of service to her family, her community, her work in the world ... and she understands that the deepest form of giving is not so much something she does as it is something that radiates naturally when she has tended fully to herself. She’s braved the fire of giving at her own expense and learned well that in order to be of highest service she must fill her own cup first and then share from the overflow.

 “Wow, the Giving Woman’s Guide is truly a gift to me and I highly recommend this little gem to anyone! I honestly felt that Nancy Ann Key was speaking directly to me in the form of a beautiful love letter to her dear sister, gently urging to care for herself and honor her needs/desires first. One quote from this book that stands out to me is “Unless and until you give deeply to yourself, you cannot fully receive the gifts that surround you.” I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, teacher and friend. And as a 64-year old retiree, I can say that I have been the ultimate "giver" all my life. Even at my age, this book brought keen awareness to my inclination to always feel the need to serve others first. Yet it has further stirred the impetus to rediscover my glorious self and inspires me to living the life I desire evermore. This book is an easy read/wonderful inspirational guide and I now keep it on my nightstand as a constant reminder. If you are a giver, give yourself this precious book.” ~ Elizabeth H.                                     

“This book is a treasure! As I picked up and started reading, I instantly felt comforted and at peace. The author has a gift of connecting with her readers and does so with love, warmth and positivity. Nancy Ann Key lets us know -- and reassures us -- it is ok to tend to ourselves without feeling guilty about doing so. I enjoyed this book so much I ordered a copy for my sister , who loved it as well, and she in turn ordered a couple to pass out to her friends. I look forward to more books from this compassionate and insightful author.”  ~ Terri W.

“A must read for all women! An excellent pocket guide to refer when you need perspective in your life, guidance and permission to "give" to yourself, while at the same time giving/caring for others in a more effective and genuine way. Nancy has a unique way of expressing positive encouragement throughout the book and gives real life examples on how to be a better giver to yourself with the goal of creating a rich and rewarding life for yourself and those around you.”   ~ Virginia P.

“This is a go-to book of encouragement for me. I think I've read it three times! The Giving Woman's Guide reminds me to take care of myself, so that I can present the most authentic version of myself in service to others. I love her quote "Everyone around you, including you kids, will breathe a sigh of relief when you begin to care for you first." Buy a few and pass them around!”  ~ Sandra R.

“This brilliantly written Guide on Giving by Author Nancy Ann Key invites us to make a radical shift in how we look at giving to others by instead giving generously to OURSELVES FIRST, and then sharing that never-ending abundance with others effortlessly. Bravo! A magical transformation if you're willing and a must-read for all women.” ~ Peggy L.
