Life is full of coincidences. I was just telling my friend yesterday, that I haven't seen Sister Souljah on the tv or radio promoting her book. I think that it is selling because random people in restaurants and on the street have given my their opinion while I was either reading or carrying the book. If you are interested, 3 Chicks on Lit will discuss "Coldest Winter Ever" and "Midnight" with the lady herself, Sister Souljah at 7pm EST on December 17th.

Today started off a little Shakey.com but it progressively got better. I finished reading 2 books this week.
The first is Spiritual Rules of Engagement by Yehuda Berg. I browsed this book several times over the last couple of weeks before picking it up. It was an interesting read. First off, it is written by a man who I thought was an interesting perspective. Second, its ideology is rooted in Kabbalah. I am a Jesus girl. I will always be a Jesus girl so I don't have issues with reading about other religions. I am 100% sure of what I believe in. With that said, this book had many great points for women whether they are looking for love with someone or not. My favorite points from the book are:
1. You have to be your own source of happiness.
2. You should love and respect yourself more than a man/relationship. If you don't, you need to act like it.
3. Select a partner that you believe in and can stand behind.
4. Evaluate potential partners the same way you would a potential employee of your company. Let them stay or go based on performance. Do evaluations when necessary.
Those are my words; but Yehuda Berg has his own way of saying it. He has other great gems for you.
The second is Love Matters: Remarkable Love Stories That Touch the Heart and Nourish the Soul. I picked this one up because I occasionally listen to Delilah when I am driving late at night. Her radio show is entertaining and great to listen to. Her book did not disappoint. The stories were funny, heartfelt and touch upon every aspect of love. There is something in there for everyone. I really enjoyed the stories. It is an easy read that you can put down and pick up at your leisure.
Fall is officially here. I leave for work in the dark and come home in the dark. The best thing about daylight savings time is that it is a sign that the holiday season is on its way. The Holidays is my favorite thing about this time of the year. Any who, I’ve noticed people coughing and sneezing around me a lot more. My daughter got a flu shot today. I decided to post some tips to counter the common cold.
1. Eat a lot of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Those foods build up your immune system. 2. Drink water. We all know that it keeps you hydrated. Did you know that water helps distribute nutrients throughout your body and flushes away toxins? 3. Wash your hands throughout the day to avoid spreading germs. Carry hand sanitizer as a back up. 4. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth to prevent germs from getting into your body. 5. Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough. Please don’t sneeze or cough into your hands. Use the elbow of your sleeve to avoid spreading your germs.
