Over the last few years, I have helped thousands of women take back their time and reclaim their dreams. I’ve done this in two specific ways:
First, I wrote Real Women Scrap™, an inspiring and practical guide designed to help you find balance, crop out chaos, and live a life you love. - Then, I created www.realwomenscrap.com, a FREE website and blog community of women—real women.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
I'm a full time author, personal discovery coach, speaker, and
mother. But back in 2002 I was a single mom planning a wedding, moving out
of state, beginning a new job, and trying to keep it all together. It
was a late night visit to the emergency room for mysterious
(stress-related) stomach pain that started the adventure I am currently
living.
With doctor's orders to rest for two weeks, God finally had my undivided attention and I began to reconnect with myself, my family, and my faith. Most of the time I was too busy filling my life with noise, distraction, and stuff, but not anymore. Those two weeks were a time of refreshing, reconnecting and creativity. I began scrapbooking again and found that the lessons I applied to make award-winning pages were the same lessons I should be applying to my busy life. Learning and applying the lessons of balance, focus, symmetry, boundaries, comparison, sisterhood, and more allowed me to quit a stressful job and begin taking care of myself at least as well as I take care of everyone else.
The same can happen to you.

"25 days to live more fully with Real Women Scrap™"
One evening I turned off my computer, cleaned up the dinner dishes and informed my family I was going to be reading for the next few evenings. I put on my pajamas and settled into my favorite chair with some hot chocolate and a manuscript of Real Women Scrap™ by Tasra Dawson. As I sank into my chair and Chapter One I thought, “Hey, this experience sounds familiar.” I shrugged off the similarities thinking it happenstance. Somewhere in Chapter Two I found myself amazed that I wasn’t the only person in the world who felt the emotions being described. I sipped the last of my hot chocolate, took a break to stretch and found the box of Kleenex. I read non-stop and was lost in the pages of time - finishing the book in the wee hours of the morning. I finished because I wanted to and because I couldn’t put it down. Tasra effectively and poignantly compared the experiences of scrapbooking to life experiences. Her matter of fact, tried and true remedies for problem solving were a breath of fresh air and the reading experience, for me, was like having a heart-to-heart with a dear friend. I closed the book feeling grounded, centered and really good about my scrapbooking self and my “real’ self. Tasra beautifully showed how they are one and the same. Wow! She’s done Scrapbookers proud. She’s done women proud. I applaud her skill, talent and willingness to take the time to put what she knows, sees and experienced into words so you and I can see ourselves and our passionate hobby more clearly. I’m not going to tell you what my endorsement on the front cover of the book says…I was honored that Tasra chose it…but I want you to know it’s all true. This is a five-star, really good read. If you’re wondering what to give yourself for being a really good girl this year, consider Real Women Scrap™ by Tasra Dawson. —Jill Davis, Founder and Owner Scrapbook.com and Scrapjazz.com |

I’m in the middle of reading your book right now. I just love how
you have related the scrapbook concepts to US! I have been spending the
last few years really evaluating my life and making many changes much
like in your book. Scrapbooking has really helped me because it’s a
venue for me to write about anything and feel creative and I have
learned so much about myself through my scrapbooking.
—Michele M.
I have been "breathing" your book - Thanks so much for such an inspirational read!
—Scrapbook.com member, aka "Scrap Candy"
“Awesome! Life-changing! I absolutely loved it! I've already started
implementing some of your suggestions. Who knows? I might even get that
scrapbook started that I've bought so many supplies for! God really
used your manuscript to speak to me. I am so inspired. There are many
things that I have been wanting to do and talking about doing: writing
my novel, getting my writer's book published, exercising daily,
finishing a scrapbook for my newly married son. You’ve made me feel
motivated and empowered to make the changes necessary for those things
to happen. Thanks!”
—Kathy Ide, author, editor, speaker
“I'm so into this. And to think, I don't even scrap! I am so inspired and want to journal some of the events in my life just to show how I’ve transformed them! To show my daughter how powerful hope and prayer are, and remind me. This book struck a chord and means a lot to me, especially in the context of my past and my life now—overcoming obstacles and having to find the blessing. I am loving this!”
—Denise Schlaman, junior high English teacher
“I loved reading Real Women Scrap. It was so full of inspiration!
Now I’m ready to get back to my photos and albums to try out some of
the things I learned. Tasra’s insights and practical applications
inspire me to try them out in my life too.”
—Melanie G, mother of four girls

between scrapbooking and life, and created a companion piece for every
busy woman who longs to both live more in the moment, as well as to
preserve the moments that make up the shifting kaleidoscope of her rich
and hectic life. I would recommend Real Women Scrap to any scrapper,
particularly to a stressed-out mom with a lot going on.”
—Katie Vorreiter, business owner, author, wife, and mother of two
