GIRLS IN WHITE DRESSES BY JENNIFER CLOSE, $9 Okay, so this is an older book, but it’s new to me and I’ve loved all of the different plots to follow. It’s kept me interested. EDITOR’S NOTE It took me a long time to realize who I truly am as a person. Like a lot of other 20-somethings, I alternated between being who I wanted to be (tentatively), and being who I thought others wanted me to be. I pretended to be the outgoing, friendly girl who was always up for going out. But it turns out, I’m actually an introvert who much prefers to stay in with a very small, very close group of friends. I like quiet and peaceful, I like relaxing. I don’t think I truly learned who I was until I became a mother. Once I had someone else to care for and gave up all sembalance of free time, I quickly realized what made me happy and what I wanted to do when I found a few minutes to myself. It also took me becoming a mother to realize that if I wanted my dreams to come true, I’d have to make them come true. I wanted to show my son that you really can do whatever you want if you work hard enough for it. I now celebrate the personal evolution I went through. I’m glad I had to figure out who I was and feel confident that I’m okay just the way that I am. _________________________________________________ Throughout this issue you’ll see a few new things, including products from companies that make this magazine possible.
