Bridget Jones 3



I am a huge fan of the Bridget Jones.  I mean, clearly.


I read the third book in the series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy maybe a year ago, and absolutely loved it.  I mean, I didn’t like that Helen Fielding killed off Mark Darcy, but the story itself was still really great.  I’ve been periodically checking Google to see what the new movie status was and yesterday I was very pleasantly surprised that the movie has already started filming!!

What I found most intriguing about this article in Marie Claire was that the third movie is not based off of the book, but rather Helen Fielding’s columns written eight years ago.  I didn’t even know she had written columns!  And, I call myself I fan.   I have to admit I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know this, and fully intend to catch up on said columns at some point.

September 16, 2016 has been marked on my calendar.  I can’t wait!!

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years.  Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use.  Until then... these are just amusing.

Embrace Being Uncomfortable

We’ve all heard it before, “ Life isn’t always comfortable.”   Even if the change is a positive one, like eating healthier… it’s still not comfortable.     I’m in the process of buying my first home, and while I’m so happy and excited, I’m also really nervous and scared.   I would like to think I’m ready for the additional challenges and responsibilities of owning my own home.   But, what if I’m not?   Big life changes can be really nerve-racking!   But, I’m finding familiarity with being uncomfortable.   And, I actually take that to be a good thing.     If we get too comfortable, there is no growth, and if there is no growth, then we are just slowly dying. So, this week, embrace being a little uncomfortable.   It’s how you know you’re changing!        

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.
