Motivation Monday - Grace, Gold and Glory

Motivation Monday is the day of the week when I share a motivational book title of my "have read" or "wish to read" lists.  This week's feature is Grace, Gold and Glory: My Leap of Faith.  Gabby shares her message "With hard work and persistence, any dream is possible."

Grace, Gold and Glory: My Leap of Faith is the story of Gabrielle Douglas, the little Olympian who stole America's heart at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

In the 2012 London Olympics, US gymnast Gabrielle Douglas stole hearts and flew high as the All-Around Gold Medal winner, as well as acting as a critical member of the US gold-medal-winning women gymnastics team. In this personal autobiography, Gabrielle tells her story of faith, perseverance, and determination, demonstrating you can reach your dreams if you let yourself soar.

Gabrielle Douglas is a two-time Olympic gold medalist. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she made history, becoming the first US gymnast to take home a team and an individual gold medal in the same Olympics. Gabrielle began her training at age six, and became the Virginia State Champion only two years later. When she was fourteen, she left her family in Virginia Beach to train with coach Liang Chow in Des Moines, Iowa. Under Chow's guidance, and with tremendous faith in God's plan for her, Gabrielle competed in the Olympic Trials and walked away with the only guaranteed spot on the team. Since her Olympic triumph, Gabrielle has used her platform to inspire millions with a powerful message: With hard work and persistence, any dream is possible.
