Books, books, books.....






I have started 3 books and I'm having the darnest time finishing them. I'm a terrable book reader and so I start a couple and never finish them. I have enjoyed the book by Robin MCGraw "inside my heart" she shares about the fact that you make your life the way you want it to be and be confident in yourself and your decisions. I love her passion for life... "The five people you meet in heaven" keeps me thinking about have I touched someone's life that they will remember me, who would be my 5 special people after I die that will come up to me and tell me that I made a difference in there life.... It is a cool book to read almost done with that one. Then there is "I was a good mom before I had kids" that is a pretty funny book. It seems like it is my every day thoughts sometimes. As I read it, it is nice to know i'm going thru the same adventure as other moms all over AMERICA! I tend to be hard on myself as a mom and this book is great to know that feelings that moms have are normal... it really is a fun book... written by 3 ladies. And FINALLY..... my mother in law suggested reading the new one by Suze Orman! Has anyone read that... fill me in, did you enjoy it? I plan on buying it once I finish my other THREE!!! So any suggestions... I'm determined to finish ALL the books in the next month or two. I wish I had more of a desire to jump into books. Wish me luck!

Alicia, I'm reading Women & Money right now, it's really good. It gives a lot of good basic tips and she said a lot of things that made me go "Wow, I've never thought of that before but it makes SO much sense!" We're actually listening to it on CD, in the car and stuff which makes it easier.

Alicia I was so excited to get your comment on my blog. I would love to get together, I never do anything and haven't made too many friends out here. That's partly my fault, I haven't put myself out much. Anyway those books sound so good I'm not really a reader but I have been trying to get into books lately to give me some sort of an out. I love the quote from sister Hinkley

You can count me as one of the five; I know that you've touched my life, a day doesn't go by when I don't think of you and how you are. I love that you have this blog so I can check up on you.
