The Pull of the Moon

I picked this book up because the title intrigued me and was written by one of my favorite authors, Elizabeth Berg. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading it...but it was so good that I couldn't put it down!

Have you ever read a book that made you look around and think to yourself..."Did I share these thoughts with someone out loud?" Then it made me realize that maybe I'm not so alone in my thoughts and that there are plenty of women who feel like this.

Do not get me wrong...I love my husband with all my heart and we are happily married. But sometimes, you wonder...where did you lose yourself along the way? I don't mean this in a bad way at all...just that when you are with the one you love, you learn to compromise and then your dreams mesh with his dreams (compromised of course) and then you just become content with the way life is headed.

I was so envious of this lady in the book about taking the path less traveled that it has inspired me to be a little bit more bold in my day to day life. I mean after all, we only have this one life...make it magical!

So here's to driving down dirt roads, stopping to talk to interesting people (maybe not picking up hitchikers), and really listening to your heart. I am declaring the year 2014 to be the one where I make memories with my husband...and a few of my own.

Y.O.L.O!!!
