What Alice Forgot

This is the book I'm reading for the month of October. I'm only a quarter of the way through but so far, it's a good read.

Author's Summary: Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child. So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! She HATES the gym) and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over — she’s getting divorced, , she has three kids, and she’s actually 39 years old. Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade, and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes. Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over…

double the fun!

I'm the type of person that when I find something I like, I usually buy two of them. So, I was in The Loft the other day and saw the cutest clutch ever on sale and just had to scoop it up. It was on sale for $11.99.

And of course... I couldn't get just one.

So True

Hope this inspires you!

Q : What's your general pet peeve?

Noor :

My biggest pet peeve is traffic. All the smoke and noises just freak me out. If I could do one thing, I would get out of my car and shout for clearance!

Areeba : 

Pet peeve? It's staring! No matter who is staring me, this thing is annoying. Why you stare? I mean if a bird has pooped on me head tell me to wash this but DO NOT stare. It's kind of horror for me!

Your turn to answer!

Outgrowing Relationships

Thought shoes and clothes were the only things you could outgrow? Guess again! You can outgrow people too. Here are some signs that will help you realize that you may be outgrowing someone.

1. You no longer find their stories interesting. Gone are the days when you would cling to every detail. 

2. Talking to them becomes a chore. 

3. You realize that the person is more into themselves than anything else. You can hardly get a word in. 

4. You no longer race to the phone when they call.

5. You find yourself nodding off or rolling your eyes midway through a conversation.

So, the point of this post is....

I have decided...

Yesterday, as I sat in quiet reflection I made some decisions. 

I have decided that....

1. I won't let anyone's negativity affect my state of mind. Even if it means cutting some people out of my life, I no longer wish to have another human being unfavorably alter my mood and disposition. 

2. I will live my truth. That means being myself. Even if it makes me seem unpopular. There is only room for one personality in my life, MINE.

                                     

3. I will walk in my purpose.

               

4. I will surround myself with positive, like-minded people.
