Girls, Stop Telling Yourself Lies

Have you ever wanted to start a trend? Have you followed the crowd and done what they are doing? Of course, we have. If we haven't, we are telling ourselves the biggest lies. Lies are the worst things we can tell ourselves!

One of the biggest trends out there is reading the book Girl, Wash Your Face.' I am very skeptical about reading books because everyone has a different taste in what they read. Trust me when I say once you pick up this book and start reading it you won't have a life. That's because you won't want to put it down. This book is so inspirational to women. If you haven't read it, pick up a copy and don't regret your choice!

Spoiler alert! if you haven't read this book yet, here is two main topics that I thought stood out. These include learning how to be the best you, and the fact that all good things take time.

Why did these stick out, let me just tell you! The first one couldn't be more empowering to women. As women, we tend to compare ourselves to others and wish our lives were like someone else's. We need to stop comparing and start living our own life. No one is perfect and that's what this book teaches us! We must be the best versions of ourselves that we can be.

The second thing it teaches us is is all good things take time. Each good thing might take a few weeks, months, or maybe even years. Yes, I did just say the word years! The author of the book Rachel Hollis even mentions it in her book that some things take years. If you're a movie fanatic, you will appreciate this. She even mentions it in her book how it took fifteen years to make the movie Avatar! That movie sold millions of tickets and was one of the biggest movies. So, a lesson we take from this is patience is a virtue and great things do come with time if we let them.

Girls stop telling yourself lies and think it's ok. Let's be real, you're only hurting yourself when you tell lies.

If you need a good read, I encourage all women to pick up the book 'Girl, Wash Your Face.'

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
