I keep finding these awesome quotes from the book present over perfect.
Sometimes brave looks more like staying when you want to leave, telling the truth when all you want to do is change the subject.

Who likes Poetry??

So tell me Who likes Poetry?
I have never been one to read poetry. English and Writing has always been my favorite subject. I loved every part of it. Including writing Essays...yes I know ugh but they just are easy for me. Now that being said poetry was one that ...nope never got it...never understood it, that is until now. I have had an occasional poem that I thought was interesting but not really, really liked until now. While reading "Present over Perfect" she mentioned a poet that she liked reading her name is Mary Oliver. I "googled" her poetry loved it. Especially a poem titled "The Journey", this poem is about 
the journey one takes through life in order to become an individual. 
This poem I totally enjoyed reading especially at this point in my life. I am re-evaluating many parts of my life, mainly who I am as an individual. Sometimes we re-find ourselves later in life. I did this once already at around the age of 30. This is when I came 100% comfortable with who I am as person. That's kind of another blog post so I won't tarry there right now. 
She has other poems that I skimmed over and will go back and read again slowly to get the understanding. 
It's strange how sometimes we find things later in our life that we like that in the past never would have interested us. I think our "tastes" change over time.

The book I have been reading (yes I'm still reading it) is such an incredible read for me at this time in my life. Again the book is Present over perfect. I keep finding myself telling people about it. It's funny because some of the people I'm telling either don't read or don't read this type of book but that doesn't stop me. I can't seem to not share. Changing up things in your life is a really difficult thing I have found. I have found so many things in this book that are helping me make these changes.

i started reading a new book yesterday. A friend recommended this book, The book is "Present over Perfect: Leaving behind frantic for a simpler, more soulful way of living by Shauna Niequist. I found a quote that is so true and awesome. "The very thing that makes you you, that makes you great, that makes you different from everyone else is also the thing that, unchecked, will ruin you." This sentence hit me as so true!!😉
I think I will be loving this book😁. Just had to share.
