That made it all the more painful when she smiled and strode right into the arms of his best friend.
 
Just as her circumstances change and hope builds that the two may have a chance together, a face from Collin’s past reappears with a shocking revelation that will turn his world upside down. The Marine way is to make things work, even as circumstances change. Now, more than ever, Collin has something of his own to fight for.

Breath of Life Bible Journaling

Here at Breath of Life I am now starting to share my love of  Bible Journaling.  The Breath of Life Bible Journaling will be posts where I share with you at least one or two of my pages from My Creative Bible that my daughter gave me for Christmas two years ago. I will also be sharing the Scriptures that coincides with them as well as possible chatting a little on my personal views concerning the passage.

 

John 1: 1 - 5

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Review: Eat Live Thrive Diet by Danna Demetre and Robyn Thomsosn

Title: Eat Live Thrive Diet
Author: Danna Demetre and Robyn Thomson
Category: Lifestyle, Diet 
Publisher: WaterBrook 
Pub. Date: 3/26/2019 
Format: Paperback
Pages: 272
ISBN#: 978-0525653165


Synopsis:  


From the well-known health and lifestyle coaches of the widely popular website Lean Healthy Ageless (formerly Ageless Woman Living) comes a practical, science-based diet book that unravels the mystery of why women gain weight as they age and includes a sustainable plan to permanently lose the pounds and inches.

Eat, Live, Thrive Diet shows women how they can not only lose excess body fat permanently but also improve their overall health in critical areas such as brain function, resistance to disease, slowing down external aging, and increasing energy. This highly effective eating plan is presented in a compassionate voice by two experienced health coaches who share personal experiences of battling weight and emotional eating issues. Whereas most diets are short-lived or require substantial upkeep to maintain, Eat, Live, Thrive Diet is a viable eating plan that women can adhere to indefinitely. In addition to minimizing sugar intake, the plan emphasizes the importance of short-term intermittent fasting--a simple lifestyle change that makes it easier and more effective for many mature women to reach their health and weight loss goals. The book also highlights health risks and drawbacks of many popular fad diets that can be harmful on a long-term basis.

24th - 30th - Do you continue with a book even though you aren't liking it? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)

My rule that I try to go by is I read at the least 5 to 6 chapters. If I am really having a hard time getting to that point then I either dnf it or lay it aside and possible try to pick it up at a later date. If it is for a review a will let the author or tour guide.

So, What about you? Do you continue with a book even though you aren't liking it? Please Share.
