New Adventure

On Saturday, July 31st, I made the long haul from Boynton Beach, FL to Surfside Beach, SC, a 629-mile drive, what should be a nine hour, 23 minute drive through Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The night before this trip I started looking for a stopover location to break the trip into two days, but I decided to bite the bullet and get the drive over with in one day. 

As I pulled onto I95 North from Boynton Beach, I began listening to the second half of Untamed by Glennon Doyle. For as much hype as this book got, I was unimpressed. I actually started it in mid-June as I began packing up my house in Illinois and I just never wanted to even finish it. Facing the long drive, I thought ... what the heck?! Why not. 

I think maybe if you've never thought about your place in the world as a woman, or about your spirituality, or belief systems, maybe her content might be eye-opening for you. But it seemed pretentious to me. Perhaps even more so because she was reading her own book. I felt like her inflection was trying to make things sounds revelatory, but they just were not. Enough said.

Rounding out the rest of my day, I pulled up Caroline Myss' Anatomy of the Spirit.
