GULF BREEZE — Inspirational author and speaker on women’s lives, Kathleen Vestal Logan, won two awards this year for her book titled “Women's Wisdom: Pass It On!”
The book was a 2016 International Book Awards Finalist in the self-help/motivational category. With over 1,500 entries, it beat out 80 percent of fellow entrants including Pope Francis and Daymond John of “Shark Tank.”
In addition, Logan’s book received a Bronze award in the 2016 National Mature Media Awards. These honored the best marketing, communications, educational materials and programs for older adults.
Logan’s book aims to encourage intergenerational sharing; that is, to acknowledge, nurture and share women’s wisdom at every age and stage of life.
A former U.S. Navy officer now residing in Gulf Breeze, Logan is a frequent speaker to women’s groups throughout the Southeast. Her many conversations with women have led to articles she writes for the online newsletter of The Transition Network, a national organization for women over 50.
She also co-authored “Second Blooming for Women: Growing a Life that Matters after Fifty” with E.L. (Betsy) Smith, Ph.D.
Published by Second Blooming Books, A Wyatt Mackenzie Imprint, “Women’s Wisdom: Pass It On!” is available at bookstores and online, including Amazon and on electronic devices.
