Last night I was able to hear Rachel Simmons speak. A few years ago I purchased " Odd Girl Out" because when I was in school I was bullied a lot. I thought maybe if I read this book it might help me overcome the memories of being bullied. I also know how hard it is to be in Junior High School. So, in preparation on the evilness that will come down on Sarah I thought I might prepare her. Well, the book did ...well it sorta helped. It explained why girls bully. Such horror stories about how mean girls can be ! She also had another book out the " Curse Of The Good Girl". I definitely have to go out and get this one. I realized that once I heard the description of the "good girl" that I was her....and I was still her ! I thought I am in a room full of tweens and I am still one of them ! Which was pretty sad....I realized that I had a lot of good girl behavior this summer. Then I realized that I was struggling with it, so much that it made me feel a wee bit too crazy. This year has been full of sadness, many tears shed, frustration, but most of all discoveries about ME and who I am and where I am going. Yes, Gretchie Love suffering from the Midlife crisis at 42. Something I thought I would never do, but in a way it feels kinda good.
