"fortes fortuna adiuvant"

or for those of the rest of us that don't read latin fluently,

 "fortune favors the bold"

jump right in.

dive in.

head first.

no holds barred.

go big.

get in over your head.

let go.

let God.

be fortuitous.

be bold.

be brave.

be happy.

On a side note...

I'm sending out my bookswap package tomorrow!

As you know, I'm still away from all of my things,

 so perusing the local book store,

 searching for the Perfect (!) book....

I managed upon a sale and got about $200 worth of books for about $50.

Which is 'technically' the first purchase I've made for myself this year.

 (yayay for self-control!)

 a-MAZ-ing!

 I love good deals. 

The book I chose is special for many reasons.

 But most importantly,

 it opened my mind and inspired my journey.

  I am so excited for my swap buddy to get it in hand and hope that she'll enjoy it as much as I did

(and do, since I still have my original copy).

bookswap

yes, it's time. 

I got the email today.

did you?

I'll be mailing my book (complete with inscription) to a lovely lady.

I'm so looking forward to reading all the inscriptions & book titles that we have all come up with.

You can read them too, or read about the bookswap hosted by Kateigh.
