pusit...opusit...
I am currently actively reading two books:
#1 - The Purpose Driven Life
#2 - He's Just Not That Into You
I just bought #2 yesterday so I read a few chapters before I went to bed. I was cracking up so hard it's pretty hilarious! right after, I read my daily chapter of #1 (day 24 - transformed by truth). while reading I was thinking to myself 'how ironic is this?' I am so deeply involved in two completely different books!
Either way, I feel both these books will serve different yet unique purposes in my life. Since reading #1, I've found my thought processes are a little bit 'deeper' than before, and every now and then I'll find myself getting a bit 'preachy' when I talk to my friends. I don't mean it to come out that way, but I guess it's my way of releasing all this newfound insight I've gotten.
Part of my resolution to myself is to try and live my life as my own. For as long as I can remember I've lived my life mainly for the purpose of other people, and to make others happy. I think in the process, this has held me back from doing some things that I've wanted to do - just for me, and nobody else. (ok, that, and because I know that deep down I am just afraid of rejection). I am pretty sure this part of me won't change (the part about trying to make others happy) - that's just me and who I am. But if I can't be completely happy with myself then who am I to think I can make someone else happy?
So if this means reading books and looking at outside sources to assist me and give me insight, that's fine by me. Any little bit counts right now.
I won't lie - To me, sharing my life with MR. RIGHT is part of my life's plan. But when the right guy does comes along, I am going to make sure that I am the right girl.

Dear Santa,
I've tried to be good this past year (...efford counts for something, right?).
Thank you for all the gifts you've given me this past year.
There are too many to name but you know what they are so thanks for them all.
This year I would like world peace.
But it would be nice to win big in Vegas and be able to visit my friends in Toronto more often. And to be able to stay at The Plaza in NYC. And to go on an all-inclusive trip somewhere.
But in the end, I just want peace (of mind).
Be careful when you go to back East, I hear there's a snowstorm out there.
Love,
you-know-who.
#1 - The Purpose Driven Life
