The Year of Starting Over

Feeling stuck, I think, is one of the worse feelings in the world. The discomfort with feeling stuck is as painful as the realization that you have to actually take action to get unstuck in a timely manner. If not,  you risk being trapped in your current situation forever. "The Year of Starting Over" by Karen King is the story about a young woman named Holly who finds the strength and power to forge a new path for herself. Excited by the anticipation that her long-time boyfriend is going to ask her to marry him, suddenly everything changes for her when he fails to pop the question. She decides she is not only disappointed by him, but also by her job. With 30,000 British pounds she has inherited from her grandparents, she decides to take a chance on herself. She leaves her home in England and heads to the Andalusian hills of Spain to stay with some friends at an artist colony. It is there she makes a list of things to do which include, "Learn to be herself again," and "not to fall in love." Part "Bridget Jones," and part "Eat Pray Love," Holly's adventure in Spain, of course, includes food adventure and even, despite her cautious attitude, love. For anyone feeling stuck and in need of some sunshine and a boost, this is the book for you. To buy this book on Amazon click here.
