Feeling like this all week...

Does anyone have any suggestions for curing the feeling of being completely overwhelmed?

Sweet, Simple and Down-to-Earth

Weddings, I feel are sometimes fairly over-done. I love the idea of this wedding. Everything from the bride's wrap to the groom's tie, even the apples on the table... It is all perfect and simple.

Around the World...

With the Sartorialist...

Let me just start off prefacing this book review by saying, "Wow." This memoir was the most entertaining book I have read in years. I started it Friday night and finished yesterday (Sunday). You wouldn't have been able to pry it away from my fingertips if you tried.

"Undress me in the Temple of Heaven," takes you through a journey. It was a journey that commenced with hope... hope for all things to come. But when two 22 year old girls set out for the backpacking trip of a lifetime, their hope dwindled. Far away from everything they knew, they struggled to hold on to something- their identity.

This book takes you far away from everything familiar. Susan Jane Gilman does a wonderful job making the reader a third backpacker on this trip. As Susie and Claire trekked through China, I was on the edge of my seat... turning the pages as quickly as possible.

Bottom Line: READ IT!!! I promise you won't want to put it down.

“You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too—even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.”
— Mitch Albom
