Seriously.
I have ladies who totally get me, and who make me feel appreciate and inspired. Their words make me laugh, cry, and feel as though I'm not alone.
The only problem? They don't know they are my best friend...
because we have a one-sided relationship through their written word.
This past month, I discovered a new friend. I had the privilege of serving on the launch team for Kayla Aimee's new book, In Bloom, and to be honest I was a little creeped out...
because how on earth does this perfect stranger know so much about me?
Her tales of middle-school angst, her description of church, her battles with her precocious daughter...
this. could. be. me.
Except Caleb is a boy and I'm slightly older than Aimee by my calculations.
This memoir is spot on, though, in running the emotional gamut. I found myself wanting to read on because it made me feel so much better. It made me think about areas where I could improve, and truly inspired me to love harder... including loving myself.
A good book is one that feels like an easy conversation, one where you're leaning in across the coffee table while sipping your drink of choice, and you look up and hours have passed by... and that's this book.
If you're a woman who struggles with insecurity and self-doubt, you need to read this book. It released today.
Kayla, I'm hugging your neck from across the internet and slapping you a high five because this one's a winner...
and I'm opening up Anchor next =)
