Feeding my Brain

While today I am childless for a brief moment (thanks to my amazing mother) I've decided to actually learn to take care of myself and not feel guilty.  I woke up at my leisure (8am lol but hey that's a start for a mother of 3), went to the jacuzzi even though its already like 100 degrees to try and heal my back situation.  I think I only lasted like 10 minutes because the water was scalding lol.  I then sat poolside reading my new summer book Straight talk, no chaser by Steve Harvey!  I honestly cant remember the last time I read a book for pleasure and I love to read.  Since I am in a space of renewal and searching, what better way to do that than to read a book on how to make my marriage better?  A few years ago, I decided to read He's Just Not that Into You while I was going through some things and boyyyyy did it speak to me.  So when Steve came out with his version i was very intrigued to read it...I mean a book from a brotha to a sista essentially...its a must read right?  I am already about 13 pages into it and its is a easy read, constant page turner, you don't want to put it down.  The truth is men and women really are different and the more we realize and except that, stop trying to change each other, the better off our relationships can be.  I will keep you posted on the read, but in the mean time I am enjoying my breakfast - greek yogurt with blueberries and granola with a croissant and sesame nut butter with a cup of candy cane tea, lemon and honey, all while listening to Fela Kuti.  Perfect start to a great day.
