Recommended Reading!

Great book by first time author Rachael Eckles. Main character Celeste is smart, sexy and strong. She knows what she wants and gets it but not without some troubles. I couldn’t put it down, especially when I got to the last few chapters. Left me asking questions and wondering what’s coming next. Can’t wait for the next book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alexandra

Such a fun read, I practically flew through it! It’s the perfect escape while we’re all stuck at home. I loved all the twists and turns and cannot wait for book #2!

Design a Life You Love

My thirties were largely spent wondering, “Is this all there is?” I’d finished my law and Master’s degrees and had assumed I’d love the newfound freedom. Instead, I found myself…bored.

What did adults who weren’t juggling work and grad school do all the time? Hobbies? Volunteer? Travel? I wanted to do all three, but it took a few years of trial and error to finally design my life so that I feel on the cusp of becoming the woman I want to be. (Thanks, DVF, for the inspiration and reminder to “Be the woman you want to be”.)
