While wandering around my local book store I happened across Maria Menounos : The EveryGirl’s Guide to Life. Now, I’m not prone to pick up books in the Self Help section as I just assumed it was full of “Help Me I Can’t Stop Eating”,”My Life is Over, Now What?”, and of course “How to Help a Family Member Overcome ______.” which we all know is code for “I’m really the one with that issue”. Regardless, I slide over to the display shelf and picked up Maria’s book. With lightening speed I scanned over the book to see if anything “normal” would pop out at me. Surprisingly enough there was. I was delighted to find a well designed book, with chapters, photos and get this… content that appealed to me. It was a great general all-purpose hand guide to organization, health, beauty, food, cooking, lifestyle and just all around goodness. Her writing was honest and easy. I didn’t feel sugar-coated or even talked down to. But rather, I was empowered to take a look at my own life and make changes that I needed, guilt free. And that is JUST the way I like it. Being able to make changes that come without pressure and judgement or the fear of adding yet another item to my to-do list. A simple change that comes of my own free will.
So the bottom line Ms. Menounos – I enjoyed your book immensely. I was glad I sucked up, the somewhat cowardly courage, to browse your book in my local book store that ultimately lead me to make some great changes in my own life.
