WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SHIFT MOVEMENT: I applaud them all and urge you to read this book no matter where you are on your trek in life. It's never too late to SHIFT! Judge Glenda Hatchett "Judge Hatchett Show" Founder of the National Law Firm - The Hatchett Firm "As a woman who has been through the trauma of a tumultuous public divorce and also being a woman who was able to obtain my highest point of television success later in life the book "Shift On" by Nikki Woods and a collaboration of several other amazing people spoke volumes. The most difficult part of living through some of the events that happened to me personally, be it the "bullying" on Basketballs Wives that intended to suppress my dreams or suddenly being a single mother responsible for caring for two children on my own is that you feel as if you're going through it alone. This book is a comforting reminder that "life happens" and that with encouragement and strength you can get through whatever it is that you're facing. The stories in this book will help you to find resolve and never give up hope in the toughest situations. This is absolutely a "must read".
