I have felt so many different emotions in January. It was a difficult month for me. My New Year's resolution was to not skip a day of my devotionals. Well, I failed. It is now my new goal to not go a day without reading them. I have felt anger. Hatred. Love. Pain. Sadness. It has been a whirlwind. I've felt alone. I've felt overwhelmed. I've had to keep myself from having a beer or glass of wine every time I have a bad day because alcoholism runs in my family...both sides. With that being said, I'm going to talk about positive things. For starters, I have a new team member on my LimeLight team! Super exciting. Second, on February 17th I am doing a Vender Event in Maumelle. Third, I am doing an in-home party on March 17th. So big things coming up! I'm so excited to grow and expand my business. I may sound like I'm rambling, but I haven't posted in a while so I'm trying to catch up on things. More to come later!
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
