DON’T FORGET THE PARSLEY and MORE FROM A POSITIVELY FILIPINO FAMILY LIVING ABROAD

Celebrated author and speaker Marie Claire Lim Moore unveils the sequel to her Amazon bestseller, Don’t Forget the Soap

June 24, 2017 (Vancouver, Canada) — Marie Claire Lim Moore, a Filipina-Canadian-American global executive, speaker and author of the Amazon.com bestseller, Don’t Forget the Soap (And Other Reminders from My Fabulous Filipina Mother) is back in her hometown with more heartwarming stories and tips for a happy life with her new book, Don’t Forget the Parsley (And More from My Positively Filipino Family). The book launch and signing will be on July 19, 2017 at Chapters Metrotown.

Lim Moore passionately promotes career-family balance through her much sought-after talks, as well as her writing. In her books, she takes us along her family’s journey around the world, starting with her parents’ migration from the Philippines, to her current experiences living abroad with her husband and children. It has been coined everything from a “happy family handbook” to a “great big hug in a book,” but the author reveals, that wasn’t on purpose.

“There are a number of books like The Happiness Project or Stumbling on Happiness that methodically try to measure and dissect happiness. I just wanted to share stories about my family,” says Lim Moore.

Lim Moore is regularly ranked among women leaders and her experiences have been featured by CNN, BBC, and The New York Times. In 2014, she received the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World Award™ (Global FWN100™) that recognizes Filipina women who are influencing the face of leadership in the global workplace. She recently delivered a powerful talk at TEDx Wanchai 2016 entitled “Why Asia Needs More Tiger Women.”

Here are reviews from those who have read Don’t Forget the Parsley (And More from My Positively Filipino Family):

“If you have a family you love (or would like to learn to love evenmore), are a parent looking for ways to raise a happier household, a Filipina or immigrant looking for a relatable and funny read, or just a human being who wants to make small, impactful changes on how fully you live each moment—run out and buy this book. Run, don’t walk. ~ Miro Frances Capili, former reporter, CNN Philippines

“DON’T FORGET THE PARSLEY is a metaphor we should all live by, to continue to see and add color to all the events of our lives.” ~ Claudia Chan, CEO of SHE Globl Media and Entrepreneur contributor

“A gentle guide for those who want to have it all in their professional and family life.” ~ Kellie Martin, former ER and Life Goes On actress and author of Madam: A Novel of New Orleans

“A proper sequel to best-seller Don’t Forget the Soap, DON’T FORGET THE PARSLEY is another light read you can finish in one sitting — not because it’s a short memoir, but because you won’t be able to put it down until the last page.” ~ Kristen Capili, Founder of Heart School

Book Summary: 

Marie Claire Lim Moore builds on her first memoir, Don’t Forget the Soap (2013), offering more amusing tales about her family in this follow up, Don’t Forget the Parsley. Like her first book, her latest is a collection of anecdotes from different points in her life: stories from her second generation immigrant childhood in Vancouver and New York City mix with recent expat experiences in Singapore and Hong Kong where she balances multiple roles as wife and mother, corporate executive and author. Her positively Filipino parents continue to have a big influence on her whether she’s dealing with a broken air conditioner remote, meeting President Bill Clinton or making new friends.

From stray observations (everything is funnier in church) and midnight anxieties (if Jessica Simpson gets to go to the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, why can’t I?) to life mantras (don’t let perfection hold you back) and practical tips (how to make your life better by sending five simple emails), Claire’s warm and honest storytelling will resonate with readers and leave them smiling.
