hug with nature
Submerging myself in the quiet hug of nature's excellence, I long for a rejuvenating experience by enjoying a reviving shower inside the peaceful hug of a translucent lake. The simple idea of lowering into the cool, clear water, the dash of which is suggestive of nature's delicate stroke, inspires a feeling of significant unwinding, fit for softening ceaselessly even the most difficult hints of pressure that the day could have provided reason to feel ambiguous about me. This unspoiled vision is likened to a safe-haven, where the waves of water capability as a counteractant to life's tumult.

That Ikigai Book
This is the book that yours truly is talking (literally raving) about in the opening image of this article. I kind of have my work on social media to thank, for helping one really get in touch with her Ikigai. Who knew that one simple book could be packed full of wisdom, gems, and other tips for living a life on "purpose." And it is not dry and academic, as would be the norm (and maybe even the expectation) of some of those types of books. For example, and much respect to Stephen Covey (in more ways than one, and thank you for your work); yet one is still stuck on what the seven highly habits of effective people actually are.

Miscast
Who else here gets upset when their favorite books move from page to screen only for their favorite characters to be played by someone who absolutely does not fit the bill? My throw back here is actually two popular characters, both portrayed by Tom Cruise in the movies. Jack Reacher from the Lee Child thriller series, and Lestat the vampire from Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles.

The After Series
I know what everyone must be thinking, how did a modern day love story change your life? Their are so many classic novels, self help books, and everything in-between. I've read many books in my life and there have been many that have changed me in different ways. This series however changed me in a way I never would have expected, and series I never knew I needed. To back track I actually heard about this series long before it was made into movies or available in book stores. It was back during the One Direction craze and a friend of mine had told me about this fan fiction on Wattpad based on Harry Styles. I tried reading it, but for whatever reason at the time I couldn't quite get into it.

The Wager Book Review
David Grann's The Wager is a masterful work of nonfiction that tells the story of the Wager Mutiny, a real-life event that took place in 1741. The book is a gripping tale of shipwreck, survival, and murder, but it is also much more than that. It is a meditation on the nature of power, the limits of human endurance, and the power of storytelling.
