Friday Favorites

-
Let's start a weekly tradition! 

Every Friday, I will share a list of favorites. Every week will be different - some will just be a list with pictures, some will be a list with descriptions, some will just be lists. It's all about fun here. 

This week's Friday Favorites list revolves around books I have read, that are still among my top 10 novels I'd read over and over again. 

In no particular order...

1. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald



2. 11/22/63 by Stephen King


3. The Culper Ring Trilogy by Brad Meltzer


4. The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks


5. Five Presidents by Clint Hill


6. You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero


7. I Am That Girl by Alexis Jones


8. The Shack by Wm. Paul Young

9. The Athena Project by Brad Thor

10. Insatiable by Meg Cabot

And you're who, exactly?

 I went out to dinner with a couple of girlfriends last night and we had quite a few great conversations. Sometimes you just need to go out with some friends who accept you for who you are, without expectations, and just be present.  To set the scene here - all of us are mid 30s. Two of the 3 of us that were out are married, and I am on my way to the altar in just over 6 months (holy crap), and two of the three of us are also moms (spoiler alert: I am not a mom...yet).  Out of respect of my friends' privacy I am not going to use names. However, I am going to say that these two women have been through hell and back in their lives at one point or another - and I am inspired by them all the time.  One of the conversations that came up after dinner was one about identity.  Often times, as life ebbs and flows for us, we adjust to who we are. This is an ongoing adventure. However - YOU get to decide who you are, what you are going to do with your life, who you are goi...

"Why Are You The Way That You Are?" - Michael Scott

I was not a fan of The Office when it first started. I didn't give it a second thought. However, 5 years ago, a guy I was seeing told me to give it a try... so I did. To say I speak in fluent quotes from this show is an understatement. Mix that with my ability to quote F*R*I*E*N*D*S and well... you're in for a treat.  This isn't a discussion about how I have the ability to quote classic NBC TV shows. Sorry.. we can talk about that another post 😊 I had a conversation with one of my closest friends a few weeks back about how I feel left out and stuck while everyone is off living their lives with their person. She told me that she understands where I am coming from, but that I am living my life on my terms, and am a part of things a lot of people don't understand and it reignited the desire I've had to share WHY I am the way that I am.  For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a part of a large group of incredible people. I wanted to feel like I...

Day 29 - Name a person in your past that you are grateful for

I learned at a very young age that not everyone is going to like you. Not everyone is going to agree with you. Not everyone is going to support you - even if they say they do.  This isn’t necessarily A person, per say. Over the last 15 years, I have learned the hard lesson I mentioned above. I am grateful for any lessons I’ve learned because I trusted too much, or ignored red flags. I am grateful for this life I’ve made for myself, because of the path it took. I am grateful for anyone from my past that, due to their feelings or actions, forced me to level up. To get out of my comfort zone. To actually DO the work I’d been putting off. To grow into the version of myself I was meant to be. I am grateful for the friends who fell away, whether we just grew apart or had a friendship ending incident. The people who swore they were genuine and turned out to be talking behind my back. Those who swore they would be around forever and decided to disappear.  I am grateful for every perso...
