📘 May book review- "Big Little Lies"

My sister and a bunch of my cousin's did a book club several years ago and I loved it! We started out as just having a Bunco group which was super fun, but we wanted a change and started the book club instead. We had the group for a few years and I really enjoyed it. Then all of our lives got so hectic and people moved away so we had to stop it. Recently my cousin Jessica decided it would be fun to start it again and instead of meeting as a group in person we could do our discussions through Face book.  I am so glad we have started up again, I loved being able to visit and meet with these ladies every month. I've also read a lot more books than I would have normally. I have really come to enjoy reading more than I have in a long time. I love I am able to use my imagination and escape my every day life even if it's just for a short amount of time.



➼The first book we read was "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty  

This book talks about a group of  women that strike up a friendship. They all have children who go to the same school. As the book goes on you learn more about these three main women. It gives you a look into their personal lives and learn about why they are the women they are today. I really enjoyed this book, I liked that it had some different topics that don't come up in a lot of books. I also liked that it showed the characters in the book as real people and showed they all had flaws. And it didn't try to show them as perfect cookie cutter wives living perfect lives. There was even an HBO mini-series created about this book that I am wanting to watch.

I am so glad we have started this group back up and I'm looking forward to reading more books!

Thought for the day

“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly.” (Proverb) I came across this quote on Pinterest and suddenly loved it. I think it's so great and has such a good meaning behind it. I feel like it fits me well with where I'm at right now. I have grown so much over this past year. With starting a healthier lifestyle and taking more time to care for myself I have gained a confidence and happiness with myself that I haven't had in such a long time. I have found that if I'm not truly happy with myself I can't make the people around me happy. I have also found that I need to love myself the way I am and to be proud of myself for all of my accomplishments. #learningtolovemyselfagain  #loveyourcurves

Things I do to cheer myself up when I'm feeling down

Over the years I have had to find ways to cheer myself up if I'm ever feeling low. As I think we all have had to do. Here is a list of some of my favorite things to do. ♬ I will usually listen to music. Listening to the right songs can put you in such a better mood and even bring back a whole bunch of memories. I love music and always have it on. ♣♤ Another thing I like to do that will always cheer me up is playing games. I love to play all kinds of games. Card games, board games, anything really. ☏ If I'm ever down I can always call my mom and talk to her she always knows what to say to put me in a good mood and make me feel better. Or I can text my dad and talk to him. I also have several cousins and friends that I can call or text to help brighten up my day. I am so grateful to have them in my life and that I have such a good relationship with all of them. ✄🎨 I love to do crafts and being able to do a craft and use your creativity and imagination is so soothing an...

Staying strong in hard times....

This week has been very challenging for me. I have had to make some tough decisions. I have learned that I can stand up for myself and that I need to stand up for myself. I have always had a hard time standing up for myself, I have always felt like I can't do anything on my own and that I need the help from other people.  Although for the past few weeks I have realized that I need to be able to be on my own and not feel like I can't do anything without the help of other people. I have always been a people pleaser and I know that I need to do what is best for me. I always feel like I have to put my best face forward and try to hide my real feelings from the world. But you can only take so much before it becomes too draining on your soul and mental state.  I have had to do a lot of soul searching and I feel like I have grown. Sometimes what we think is the best thing for us turns out to be a stepping stone in becoming the best person you can be. I do know that wit...
