Desert Flower

yes, another book post simply because i love to read. I guess because i only really got back into reading a few months ago after a 3 year hiatus (hey i was raising babies ok!) i feel like i need to make up for lost time. Kind of like lost time with a long time lover... okay enough of the weird analogies..

WOAW my goshness this book is.... woaw. Where do i being?? This book is basically the life story of Waris Dirie. Born in Somalia and living as a desert nomad, life is tough and is all about surviving. From humble beginnings to becoming a top model & UN special ambassador, how could you not want to know how she got there and what she went through.

I was recommended this book by my beloved sister-in-law (again). It's nice to have people in your life who KNOW you. I quote her, "OH MY GOD! you have to read this book, i think you'll love it" and i did.. i do!

There is nothing more i love than a strong, indepdendant woman who knows what she wants and goes after it, no matter what. That is exactly how i would describe Waris. As a child she was the inquisitive, hard working, determined child who was capable of things beyond her knowledge. For someone to come through what Waris has and achieve so much is beyond amazing. To still remain humble after it all, shows great character. She is beautiful both inside and out.

There hasnt been a book i havent recommended you read because... I luckily havent picked up any stinkers. but seriously, READ THIS BOOK. you will feel insipred and maybe even a bit guilty about complaining about cleaning the car thats gets you places and washing the piles of dishes which you have just eaten a hearty meal off. I'm just saying...
