I finished reading the 5th book in the Redemption series by Karen Kingsbury yesterday. That was by far the saddest book that I have ever read. After reading the 4 previous books, I started to feel like I actually knew the Baxter family (on whom the books are based). I think each of the books made me cry at one point or another, but this final book was by far the most emotional. They are a great series for anyone who is looking for a series to read (probably not guys tho...), but make sure you have easy access to all 5 because you will read through them quickly, and make sure when you sit down to read you have a box of kleenex handy. And if you have a habit of reading during your breaks at work, these may not be the best books for that, because who wants to cry at work??

Speaking of crying....I have been feeling really discouraged in the last couple of days about my job. I like my job, I like massaging, but I just wish there was some way to make myself more busy. During the summer I had a few super busy weeks, and this week I did 2 treatments yesterday and I have one booked for tomorrow and that's it. More may get booked, but it's quite discouraging. People suggest to me that I should hand out brochures around downtown, but honestly, I handed out about 50-100 a couple of months ago and nothing has come of it. I did hundreds (if not 1000s) when I was working for Dance Sask. and I think it has gotten me ONE regular client who still comes to see me. I maybe got 4 or 5 clients out of it in total, but I think the key is finding people who will come regularly. *sigh* So if you could pray for me, that I would feel less discouraged and be able to think of effective ways of gaining clients I would really appreciate it.
