Morning Swooners, 

I swear this will be me today. I have laser focus... oh, who am I kidding. It's Monday and I'll be lucky if I survive the day! I'm so excited because I broke a two month reading slump this past weekend!!! I had started three books in the course of the last few months and I finally finished one of them! I'm so happy that I finally got lost in the pages of a good story again that I could hardly sleep last night. On to our quotes.

~Rachel Hollis, Smart Girl

“You don’t share me. You own me.”
