One Little Word for 2012

The one little word that I have chosen to live by is... Authenticity.

To live the year being authentic. Being me. Being the person that I know I should be each and everyday even when it is not easy (or popular).

"Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

The Red GardenThe Red Garden by Alice Hoffman

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


An interesting story of the formation of a town and then the stories of generations of inhabitants and how their lives are interconnected to the past. The character's depth was profound in parts yet limited in other parts of the novel.



I am always bothered by parts of novels where violence occurs that to me is unnecessary. This novel contained a few of those instances. They did not add to the story but instead detracted from it.
