it's a book presented to me on my birthday and i think it's seriously stalking me.. lol..


"We desire to possess a beauty that is worth pursuing, worth fighting for, a beauty that is core to who we truly are. We want beauty that can be seen; beauty that can be felt; beauty that affects others; a beauty all our own to unveil."

see i told you it's stalking me! that is totally how i've been feeling of late..

"The longings God has written deep in your heart are telling you something essential about what it means to be a woman, and the life he meant for you to live. Now we know - many of those desires have gone unmet, or been assaulted, or simply so long neglected, that most women end up having two lives. On the surface we are busy and efficient, professional, even. We are getting by. On the inside women lose themselves in a fantasy world or in cheap novels, or give ourselves over to food or some other addictions to numb the ache of our hearts. But your heart is still there, crying out to be set free, to find the life your desires tell you of."


this book is quite a bit to digest man.. it isn't one of those page turners novels.. it just hits me everytime i feel something so relevant....... and i get scared.. scared that the author hit the nail.. my core desires.. it's just so accurate when she said how we just don't pursue them and instead paint this facade.. i guess that's how we have to do it in modern times right?

oh wells... i hope to get through this book.. i really want to know more about Beauty.. according to my friend, charlene, this book goes around this topic very well..
