Get Ready to Read: Who Wants to Join My Book Club?

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved, loved, loved to read, listen to bedtime stories, and lose myself in great pieces of literature. I remember my mother taking me to the local library when I was 6 years old, feeling amazed by the stacks of novels and thoroughly electrified by the scent of bounded, beautifully withered pages. In this particular instance, I chose 6 books to take back home with me, I can’t recall the titles of each work, but I’m certain that the “Lyle, Lyle Crocodile” series by Bernard Waber was among my selection. Anyway, that night, after dinner, while my family was asleep, I turned my bedside lamp on and began to read. 

I read all 6 books that night, pleading with my mother to take me back to the library the next day. She refused, not believing that I had, in fact, completed each novel within the span of one night. The reason that I’ve chosen to share this memory is mainly for my own interest in igniting a similar passion for literature among my readers. So, in order to properly attain this goal, I’ve taken the initiative to begin a book club.

I currently have a rough outline for the plans of this little club, which are all subject to change, but please hear me out. Right now, I’m trying to recruit individuals living in the Sterling/NoVa area willing to meet the last sunday evening of each month and discuss a novel over wine, cheese, and some good food. You do not need to have a comprehensive education in the field of literature to join, and you certainly don’t need to have a college degree for inclusion, so please don’t feel intimidated. I would love to hear back from any of my readers or friends, so please message me on Facebook, email me, or comment on my blog. If you are not living in the NoVa area, but still have somewhat of an interest in joining, I’ll be blogging about each meeting, the books we intend to read, and the topics we discuss, so you can join in the fun on cyberspace and offer your two-cents on each novel. 

That said, I hope to start this up soon so I can organize everything before school starts, so please don’t be afraid to let me know if you’re interested!!!

A Peek in the Future: What’s in a Palm?

I apologize for my brief hiatus from the blogosphere, but I wanted to come back with a post that was interesting, fascinating, and, with me as its author, assuredly kinda crazy. So, today, for the first time in my entire life, I had my palm read. I know that there are several skeptics out there and I’ve definitely been one of them in regard to the psychic phenomena, but my experience today has made me an avid believer.

Everything the psychic told me could not have been more spot on. Now, I won’t share all of my reading, but I’ll share a few secrets that are rather amusing so I hope I make a believer out of all of you, as well.

One of the first pieces of information that the psychic shared with me is that I, too, share a strong psychic energy. She encouraged me to go with my gut because I have incredibly good instincts about people as well as a top-notch intuition. She spoke about my friends, family, love life, career, and varying aspects of my personality. She told me that I’m not a selfish person at all, but people who don’t know me well view me as “conceited.” She also told me that I need to let others see the “real” me because I have a “good soul,” so I guess it wouldn’t hurt if I humbled my self a tad...

She then began about my future jobs adamantly saying (and I quote) that I have great intelligence and the capability for a career, I just currently lack the motivation. Seriously, she stressed the fact that my “intelligence is all there” and it’s not lacking in any way, I just need to put it to good use. On top of this, she told me that I’m an extremist, with addictive tendencies, meaning when I do something- I do it to the fullest- so she encouraged me to channel this energy toward something positive, like working out or eating healthy, or even my future career, not through booze...

Then we have my love life. She told me that I’m not ready for an intense relationship at all right now, and that I should just stick to dinner-dates, dancing, and a good time. She also said that I have no interest in boys who like me, but the boys who I like don’t give me “much feedback.” Just some food for thought...

So, you can judge for yourself whether or not you believe in this kind of stuff, but I can promise you that it has given me answers I desperately need in my life right now. Take it as you will, but I can assure you that my reading could not have been more accurate. If you need details about the psychic I went to, please message me on Facebook or e-mail me! And thanks for reading! xxx
