Been awhile I sat down to read judging by  my busy life as a working Mom. Lot of things has happened to me the past month, but I don’t want to get into it now until when am comfortable to talk about it. 

On my free time I try to read few books to lift my spirit. Judging by my zodiac I have a twin characteristics I believe is called Mood Swing even though am not in my monthly cycle.  Some call it Hot and Cold. Some say is a way Brats act. (OMG).

Since I turned 30 years old I told myself ‘woman get it together you’re not a baby anymore; you’re a grown woman raising a child.” They always say the best advice is the one you give yourself.  Just to make something clear I didn’t know I had an attitude until it caused me relationships( which by the way wasn’t all my fault they asked for it and they got a reaction form me… Oh my mouth can say S*** when am pissed . Am not perfect am human. Trust me you don’t want to be on my bad side when  the girl is mad; I know am the sweetness thing, but can  go to 1000 in a blink.

So I did some soul searching, yoga, mediation, said my Rosary a lot, Novenas, went to retreats, Fast and pray and did all that… which am still doing. Because ones you stop; it all go down hill. Am not saying you wont encounter temptation when you’re healing, but trust me that’s when all temptation come rolling in. Finding a way to deal with it is through prayers, talking to your loved ones, talking to friends even if is just chatting or hanging out with them for distraction. It helps a lot;  well in my case and working out even if is a slight  walk around your neighborhood,  and meditations.

So before I go off topic I was trying to get to the books I love to read which you can grab too, and read in your own time… you will thank me later. Like I said earlier no one is perfect if you are I need to know your secret :). 

I was talking to my baby Sister and she asked me if I have read a book from a  lady named Michelle Mckinney Hammond. I replied No. My sister said Ng( that’s the pet name my sisters calls me  sometimes they call me Angel). 

I went online I goggled the lady’s name, but before that my baby sister gave me a book from Michelle she had; after reading it I was hooked. I you tube her and listen to her inspirational messages. I went to eBay and made a wish list cart of books. I added mostly all her books there and few other authors. When am done reading the ones I have I will order more. 

I finally stopped shopping for clothes, bags and shoe and many things I use my money on,  and turned my interest in buying books. I love reading coming from my background as a Pre med student in Nigeria and here in the U.S (that’s another story why am not a Doctor yet). 

Few of her books I have read and you can grab one and read and tell me what you think…not just her book only, but few author a family friend, Priest,  and close friend of mine recommended to me when I talked to him about the concerns in my life.

The books are…

Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly.

Solving the riddles of self by John Powell

The power of Being a Woman (highly recommended by me.. thank me later) by Michelle Mckinney Hammond

Emotional Confidence by Zoe Mckey 

After you’re done reading these you can find more books from these authors. Well that’s what I do for my self growth and to inspire others that don’t think they have baggages, and demons they are fighting. ( I said demons because that’s what people think women are fighting against themselves whenever they display an unusual attitude). 

For Marriage couple I will recommend read books from Stormie Omartian. There’s a prayer books for couple to say. If you’re spouse wont join you with the prayer. then pray for both of you  the when his name was supposed to be mention add his name is more like he’s with you. 

Like the saying goes ” The World is not a Bed of Roses.” 

Enjoy your reading.
