Getting adequate rest daily should be a prominent priority in your life.  Without such rest,
your body is opened to numerous health risks due to an already compromised immune system.  It is important that you learn to Choose You First.  By doing so, you will add precious pain-free days to your already hectic lifestyle.

Have you checked your bedroom blinds lately?  Is it time for a change?  Good blinds will allow little light into your room and will prompt your body to stay at rest longer on those days you can turn off the alarm.  Such a simple effort, can add hours of sleep to your week. This small task may have you smiling when you waken in the morning!  So, if those blind are allowing that brazen sun light to swell your room by 6:30 am, then it’s time to look into a sleep friendly version.

A great book to relax in a dimly lit room is The Help by Kathryn Stockett .  It will keep you mesmerized and light years away from feeling uncomfortable pain as you decompress from your day.  

Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.

Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating  from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her  mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would  normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised  her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has  gone.

Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.

Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new  boss has secrets of her own.

Seemingly as different from one another as  can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the  lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be  crossed.

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever  changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers,
friends—view  one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by,  and the ones we don’t. -from Amazon
