it was amazing

this book was given to me by a dear friend when i first moved to new york city from texas. someone had gifted her a copy when she moved out to LA from texas a year or two before and she was paying it forward.

i suppose the idea was for it to serve as a reminder of our strength - something we easily forget when we find ourselves all alone in a big, strange city.

it definitely gave me a little bit of comfort and reassurance at the time.

every young girl should be forced to read this over and over. you know....actually, just every woman should, period.
=============

i recently paid it forward to a friend of mine currently going through a divorce. she feels a bit lost and i hope this jump starts her journey back to herself. and that eventually, she pays it forward, as well.
