This past week was a little insane. Not only was I in Philly and DC for Trey’s Photowalks but there was my best friend’s wedding, meetings and catching up with friends.
Here’s what I am most grateful for:
1. My best friend got married! This has been a long time coming and the entire celebration was so perfect.
2. Meeting and walking with so many of my photo friends at the photowalks. The whole thing was such a whirlwind of fun.
3. Planning a weekend getaway to NYC for my birthday sometime soon <3
I like to read. This hasn’t always been the case. I remember when I was in school it was my least favorite thing to do. Talk about snooze fest.
But in the past few years, I’ve been craving books. Non-fiction, self improvement types in particular. So, I thought it’d be fun to talk about some of my favorites or books I’m currently reading.
Right before I left to Europe, I started reading A New Earth by Eckhard Tolle recommended to me by Trey Ratcliff. Talk about eye opening. Geez Louise! I never knew how MUCH my inner most thoughts were due to my ego. Before this book I didn’t even think I had much of an ego. After reading it I can see how some of my actions or thoughts may have seemed like I do.
The biggest things I’ve taken away from this book: – You can’t take yourself too seriously, things happen for a reason and you just gotta roll with the punches -My possessions don’t define me -Flowers are here on earth for no other reason that to be admired and to be beautiful.
If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, check it out on Amazon
If you have any recommendations for me, please let me know! I’m always on the hunt for a good book and I usually just read books that have been recommended to me by friends. I feel like I can trust their opinons more, or something like that.
The Eiffel Tower was just a 10 minute walk from the apartment we were staying. It was so fun to walk over there with a croissant and just people watch. It reminded me a lot of the Washington Monument with all the angles and view points.
