#2 on my list is to read 26 different books, each one starting with a different letter of the alphabet. My friend B (who has been very instrumental in not allowing me to quit working on my list, even though that was my initial plan, yo) lent me her copy of "Girl, Stop Apologizing" just in time for Rachel and Dave Hollis to start the "Girl, Stop Apologizing" book club, but because I hadn't read the first book, "Girl, Wash Your Face," I didn't want to start on the second.
I remember when "Girl, Wash Your Face" was released. I saw several post on Facebook where several women raved about how good it was... how it set a fire in them. I was intrigued, so I headed to my favorite place... Amazon and I read the reviews. Unfortunately, Amazon showed me 1 star reviews first. I read a few where women complained that Rachel was privileged and sheltered. She hadn't faced any real adversary in her life. Regular women couldn't relate to this book. Don't waste your money. Blah, blah, blah, so I decided not to buy it, based on the opinions of these strangers on the internet versus the opinions of women who I actually knew in real life. Crazy, right? I know.
In reflection, after watching every episode of #theGSAClub, I might not be able to lose all the weight, cook awesome meals, or develop a rockin' budget to allow us the opportunity to take amazing vacations; however, I have learned one thing from Rachel and Dave- I will never do anything on my list if I don't believe that it is possible. I need to believe in myself and my ability to reach my goals. In a recent live stream on the "Start Today Morning Show with Rach and Dave," Rachel said (and I'm paraphrasing, because it was a lot) that motivation is getting up over and over and over because your desire to change is greater than your desire to stay where you are. I want a different life than the one
I'm adding to my list! #73 is to do 30 Days of "Start Today" journaling. Check out my list here.
