I've been reading a book that I got way back in February this year. It's taken me a while to finish it, as I usually just keep it in the car and read it when I'm waiting somewhere (I can wait almost anywhere if I have a good book, which this is.). It's hard "saving" it for these occasions, as it is an enjoyable read, yet it is difficult to read, as I've found myself wiping tears away while reading entries. This book was written by many teenagers in California and is called "The Freedom Writers Diary."

It will give you a different view of things.....and a very smart view as well. Warning: It's not a book to read without kleenex readily available!

I don't know what - haven't figured that out. Something changed and the momentum I had gained in working out consistently and starting to plan and cook more at home hit a huge wall... a wall I am having trouble getting over. Every day my intention is to do better, but then I find myself disappoi...
