Goal: Get motivated and find a way to stay motivated!

Weekly Inspiration

I have wrote and re-wrote this post too many times, the truth is I have a lot of things I want to say, but I just don't seem to be able to put it into words that make sense. I don't even know if that makes sense.

Basically what it comes down to is I'm at a moment in my life where I'm starting to realize that I have some changes that I need to make. There are way too many to list, so I'm gonna share one small goal with you and we'll see how it goes.

Goal: Go take a look at the two newest gyms in town and decide which one to buy a membership to.

I think I know which one I want to go to, but I have a friend that goes to the other so I'm going to give it a shot and see what they have to offer compared to the other.

10 Books On My Spring TBR List

Hello Lovelies!

Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly link-up hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's theme: Ten Books On My Spring TBR List.

The Memory of Light by Francisco X. Stork

One Week With The Best Man by Andrea Laurence

I've read the first two books in this series and loved them, I wanted to read this one as soon as I finished them but it hadn't been released. I checked back a few months after reading the others and it still hadn't been released. But last month I finally discovered that it had been released and now I am super happy and excited to read it!

Summer's List by Anita Higman

I don't remember how I found this book, but I think it sounds interesting and I would like to read it.

Shattered Rose by Tammy L. Gray

I really want to read more YA and NA, I mostly read romance, so I want to branch out this year and read a bigger variety of books instead of the same thing over and over again.

A Wrinkle In Time  by Madeline L'Engle

Speaking of wanting to read more than just romance, I really want to read more classics, this one looks like a good place to start.

Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe , Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Ever Seen by Christopher McDougall

I think this one is going to be really inspiring and I can't wait to read it.

The Giver by Lois Lowry

I liked the movie version, but I want more, so I'm gonna read the book and get the full story!

American Sniper by Chris Kyle

I actually already bought this one, I just gotta find the time to read it, I think it's gonna have to wait I'm already reading three books at the moment.

Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp

I love reading anything that has something to do with psychology, mental health, addiction, so now that I've found this book I need to read it!

All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

I also love reading stuff that has anything to do with WW1 and WW2,  it doesn't matter if it's fiction or nonfiction, I just love to see peoples thoughts on that time period.

What is on your Spring TBR list? Leave a link or list below!

A Year of Weekly Inspiration

Hello Lovelies!

It's been a little over a year since I started my Weekly Inspiration series and today I just wanted to look back at that and say thank you to everyone who has continued reading my blog even through the silence. 

Since it's been a little over a year I think it's time to change my Weekly Inspirations up a little. I've decided to go with a new background for my posts.

 But before we say farewell, here's a look back at the past year!

Thank you for another year of blogging and here's to the years to come!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Enjoyed Recently

Hello Lovelies!

Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly link-up hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's theme: Ten Book I Enjoyed Recently (last yearish) That Weren't My Typical Genre/Type of Book (or that was out of your comfort zone)

I could only come up with five books for this weeks topic, but I promise they are all great reads!

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This is a first read for me, I've seen the movies, but I've never read the books. I just started the third section of the first book and I have to say I think the movies did a really good job at staying true to the original story.

Dark Visions by L.J. Smith

I am also currently reading this book, yes I'm one of those people who reads multiple books at a time!  L.J. Smith is one of my favorite authors of all time, I love her Night World Series and I'm still holding out hope that she might finish the last book one day. 

Trail of Secrets by Eileen Goudge

This is a re-read for me, I finished it for the millionth time last month and I still love it just as much as i did the first time.

Rodeo Rescuer by Lynette Eason
I LOVED reading this one, I loved the first one and this one was just as perfect! I would definitely recommend this one if you want a quick, easy read.

Falling Fast by Tina Wainscott
Honestly this book is so good, it could definitely pass for a Nicholas Sparks book!

Hello Lovelies!

I hope you all had a good week, mine was actually pretty good. Work wasn't too bad, I found an easier way to transport my 70 pound dog to the vet, and I finally got my doctors appointment in Nashville rescheduled for next week.

Honestly the reason I didn't post this week is because I've been struggling with coming up with blog post ideas. While I took my blogging break I didn't really keep up with blogging trends, beauty trends, fashion, etc. So if you have a blog post you would like to see let me know in the comments or email me and I'll try to work on it!
