It’s Release Day for this fun summer read!

5 Stars, Baby! I loved it!

Noelle is this cute college aged woman who is trying to make enough money to finish college, so she has taken on two jobs: one at a local bookstore and the other as a for-hire bridesmaid! How fun of a job would that be, first of all?

Jeremiah comes from a wealthy family and is struggling trying to feel good enough for them, and feels like he needs to prove himself, especially because of some past decisions in his life.

Jeremiah is being pressured to visit his family for a weekend, and to bring up his made up girlfriend. After meeting at the bookstore and realizing that Noelle works as a bridesmaid for hire, he proposes that she works for him as a girlfriend! And thankfully she does it!

I loved this story because of how accepting and loving his family was to Noelle and to Jeremiah. Of course there is sibling friction, but the communication and the understanding in the story just made it sweet. And then the sweetness of the friendship and the relationship between Noelle and Jeremiah topped the cake for me.

I would recommend this book for adults, as it is spicy and there is swearing throughout the book.

Seriously had the funnest time at a local event today! I was able to meet quite a few local authors, and some that flew in to visit!

Almost all of these books are on kindle, the authors are all amazing people, so go find the books and read them! I so wish I had a good enough memory to remember to take pics of everyone 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

My goal is to have an Utah Authors section when I start my bookmobile! Getting to know our local authors is one of my goals

For the record, I do know how to use proper grammar 😂

BODI, the business formerly known as BeachBody made a HUGE impact on my life. After years as a hermit, finding that community and the programs helped me find my spark again.

I worked with BODI for years and just in the past year or two put in on the back burner while I healed from traumas I have been through.

I am sad to hear that the format of BODI has changed, making that community a different layout than what we have been used to. Instead of an MLM they will be selling as affiliates now.

I know, I know. There is a bad rap for MLM’s. But when you finally find a product that you love, that has changed your life, and you find a community of people working towards the same goal as you: helping people get healthy: an MLM wasn’t a bad idea. I loved my team. I loved helping people. I loved seeing amazing changes in their lives.

I don’t know how this will work, or if it’s a good fit for me anymore, but I am darn grateful for the time I had with it. For the growth mentally in me, for the example I gave my kids of setting goals and making them, and for the shear discipline I learned. I really liked that version of Jodi and am glad she was a part of me for awhile.

Onto new adventures! We’ll see where the world takes me 🙌🏻
