Want to live a fuller, richer live? Feel like reinventing yourself? You’ve come to the right place! I’ve got inspirational quotations from Shirley Valentine to Cher, Maria Shriver to Amelia Earhart — and I’ve added practical life tips to their words of wisdom. These experiences and quotations from strong women in history are paired with real-life solutions, to encourage you to live a bigger better life.

Healthy women lead interesting lives, stay tuned in with who they are, and don’t let piddly things like fear, rejection, or pain get in their way. And that’s what Quips & Tips for Healthy Women is all about: women who make noise, make waves, and make history.

I’m Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen; my slogan is “Freelancing full-time. Will write for food.” I have two dreams: to inspire women to live big, deep, happy lives, and to make a living as a writer. If I can do both at once, so much the better!

I live on Bowen Island, British Columbia (in Canada). My degrees are in Psychology and Education, from the University of Alberta in Edmonton (in Canada). Check out my website, theAdventurousWriter.com, for my credentials and published articles.

Did I say I love to write? I contribute to magazines such as Reader’s Digest, MSN Health, Woman’s Day, Health, Spirituality & Health, alive, and More. My writing goals include breaking into Chatelaine, The Ladies’ Home Journal, and O Magazine. I also want to write non-fiction books that inspire people to pursue their dreams.

In my newest blog, Quips & Tips for Couples Coping With Infertility, I pair inspirational quotations with practical ways to deal with infertility and the hope of getting pregnant. I highlight a book in every article. My goal is to help people remember that infertility is a drag, but it doesn’t have to make us bitter, angry, or depressed. Infertility is ugly, but it doesn’t have to wreck our dreams! My most recent article on this blog is 48 Easy Ways to Reduce the Stress of Infertility.

Writing Quips & Tips. My other website is called Quips & Tips for Freelance Writers. It’s basically the same format as Quips & Tips for Healthy Women: in my posts, I pair inspirational quotations from published, famous, and infamous writers with practical writing advice.

Psychology Suite101. I’m the Feature Writer for Psychology Suite101, where I specialize in articles about emotional, mental, and physical health and wellness.

Enough about me. Enjoy yourself here with these strong women in history. Feel free to comment on the posts or email me personally. I’d love to hear from you!

Go well,

Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen
