Okay, how about just one more excerpt for Eve Ensler's latest book? How'd you get into my brain like that, Eve?
Cherish your solitude
Take trains by yourself to places you have never been
Sleep out alone under the stars
Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back
Say no when you don’t want to do something
Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees
Decide whether you want to be liked or admired
Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here
(P.S. I'm totally working on Ms. Ensler's publishers to put together a giveaway of this book. How awesome would that be?!)

How is this woman so smart?!
Brilliant, just brilliant.
I have ordered the book online, it should arrive next week! I'm so excited!!
I totally agree w/that excerpt.... I know so many people who are hesitant at doing any of those things mentioned....People would be surprised/amazed if they just took that chance, stepped out of the box...
Beautiful, brilliant.
I love that I get to enjoy your posts on the weekends! So many others don't write. Thanks for brightening up my mornings :)
Haha, a giveaway would be awesome, except that I already bought the book for my little sister's upcoming 16th birthday as soon as I read your post!
I love all of these exerpts, i found the one that was in Glamour magazine, and cut it out to put on my inspiration board for March. I really need to go buy her book, it sounds amazing!! hope you have a lovely week!

Those words were great.
Thanks for sharing. :D
Today I said no to something I didn't want to do. It felt good. :)
That would be rather awesome. I've planned to buy it anyway, but hey, giveaways can't be wrong!
i've been a quite stalker for a while, but since this entry really got me thinking, i decided to make a small coment on your blog: it's awesome!
i love how you turn everything into something so inspiring. i often find myself remembering of things you've written here during the day, and even following some of your tips! thank you for creating such an inspirating and fun blog!
And people wonder why I love her so! I'm a proud Vagina Monologue Veteran...and I approve this message! ;)
Seriously..taping this to the wall. Forever. Like whoa. :)
a giveaway of eve's new book would be awesome...especially if i win it!! ;)
i could really use a push to get back to being 'me'. strong and inspiring words like eve's would be a wonderful guide.

I saw this excerpt posted in a magazine and have loved it ever since! I would love to read this book!
Beautiful.
SO awesome, considering my local book store didn't have it when I tried to buy it yesterday and aren't getting any in forever and I can't order stuff online. So a giveaway, lovely, would be so awesome!
This is an amazing excerpt. I think I need to read this book. It would bring me back to the day when I was 17 and first saw the Vagina Monologues, and it totally altered my perspective on my body and sex. Thanks for sharing this!
