It's a well documented fact on this blog that I sufferred a major heartbreak when my seven-year relationship ended. I don't want to go into the details on what happened (just read my previous blog entries) but it really felt like it was the end of my world back then. I was sad and depressed and if not for my daughter, I don't know if I would be able to survive having my heart shattered into million pieces. I've been single for almost three years now. I don't have any complains though because I'm enjoying every bit of it but there are those rare times that you just need a kick in your pants when you're single and Mandy Hale's The Single Woman did all that and so much more.  

It was a little over a year into my "singlehood" when I was browsing through Amazon E-Book section on what to buy when I stumbled upon a self-help book. I was a bit hesitant to purchase it because honestly, I'm not really a big fan of this genre. However, the five star rating and positive reviews intrigued me and I thought of giving it a try and thank goodness I did because it was so worth it! The Single Woman is a very inspiring read. With to do lists, faith, anecdotes and what nots, it was a big help to me when I read this while nursing my broken heart. So for today's book quotes entry, I thought why not share some of my favorite lines from this book. It was so hard to choose some of these quotes because almost all of the pages of this book are all so quote-worthy.

So, here it is:

On why heartbreak is okay:

On why it's okay to not be friends with your Ex:

On what to do while waiting for "The One":

Every once in a while, you'll encounter a book that will leave you breathless and out of words. A book that will make you appreciate your box of kleenex or in my case,  my blanket and pillowcase, for wiping those endless flow of tears. A book that you've highlighted almost every word because it speaks to you. A book that will make you believe that soul mates do exist and true love knows no age. A Thousand Boy Kisses did that for me and much much more. 

So it's only fitting that for this week's Book Quotes post, I've rounded up three lines that made me pause, re-read, highlighted and gave me all those feels from Tillie Cole's A Thousand Boy Kisses. 

On how to live your life:

On why we need to give it our BEST:

On the essence of LOVE:

What's your favorite book quote? Share it with me :)

One of the reasons why I love reading isn't only because it's my escape from reality but also because it's my source of inspiration and motivation. Hidden behind those pages are words that speak out to me that had helped me get through the day. So for today's post, I've rounded up five inspirational lines from one of my favorite read ever, Jojo Moyes' Me Before You. 

It's a well-known fact (well among my circle of friends) how I love this book. How excited I was when news broke out that there will be a big screen adaptation. How happy I was when its trailer came out. How I swooned over Imagine Dragon's Not Today when they release it as part of their soundtrack. So I thought, it would be fitting to share some of my favorite lines from the book that might motivate you in certain aspects of your life like it did with mine:
