"I BELIEVE IN PINK! I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."— Audrey Hepburn

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every night, friends. You have done what you could. Let it go.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

This Book Changed Me!





  • I cannot say enough about this book. It is set during the time of world war II. during the occupation of France. Nothing I will say here will do it Justice. The story features two sisters who appear to be very different and we follow them as the war  begins and through to the end of the war and beyond. I know what you are thinking. We do not need another WWII saga... I put off starting it even though it was highly recommended just because of that very reason. Don't do that! If you have not read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, please do! The end blew me away

I am not sure how to approach this, except to say that I was living in the moment with these characters. It was as a participant that I went through each day with them and when I got to the end of the story I was unable to just close the book, or turn off the kindle, as it were...I had trouble falling asleep last night as I could not leave their world and still this morning...I am finding it hard to move on. 

Kristin Hannah built a world as I feel it must have been for so many at that time. She pulled no punches and spared none. There were poignant times, sad times, hard and nasty times, and just a few happy times...but over all a beautiful book.

I have to give this one a ...

                                                            SO that's it for today I hope you pick this one up...if you do, or if you have already read The Nightingale, let me know how you felt about it. Until next time...
