Had a chance to go to the Blue Ridge Mountains with some friends. It was a different experience. It was a big cabin. It had a pool table, a jacuzzi, games, a lot of rooms and out in the woods. We went hiking but most of the time we relaxed in the cabin. We played games, cards, and grilled. Nice weekend getaway. First time in the cabins and would definitely go back. If you are looking for something to do in a peaceful place out in the mountains then check out Blue Ridge.
Sometimes just sitting outside relaxing with friends and talking is much needed. You have to have peace of mind sometimes. Getaway and just enjoy the scenery. If you have never been to the mountains try it out and they have all kinds of cabins, some have pools, some have up to 12 or more rooms. They have it where there’s enough room for a group of family and friends.
Have you ever been to the cabins? What’s your experience? Which cabin have you been to?

This was the first book I have read by this author, and it was good. This was a book about Josephine Evans, who was an actress who had been on the stages for 30 years establishing her career. Josephine had been acting in her career and then they counted her out. She went back home to see about the property her mother left for her and to also check up on her granddaughter. Her granddaughter Zora had been through a lot and just kept being in the blogs. Her life has just been different since her dad passed away.
Josephine goes to check on the property and she finds out that the area has turned bad, a lot of robberies, drugs and homeless people have taken over. She checked on the house that has been vandalized and unkept. She goes to the company who has been keeping up with her home. Come to find out the company wants to take over all of their homes in that area. They are trying to buy the elder people out and give them less money to sell. They do things you wouldn’t even imagine.
Josephine talks with Zora, her granddaughter and friends to fix the place up. As they do that Zora decided to video and share to the world what they are doing. It seems like every time they get far in cleaning up the place something else happens to the home. So, they have to start all over. They cannot get a break. They all will not give up and so many people saw on the internet what they were doing and wanted to help them and also wanted them to travel to do more in the different states.
While the team cleans up I think they all bond and share different stories with each other and they all came together at the right time in their lives. What they needed the most was encouragement, inspiration and a team. I love Josephine’s character. She is a strong, independent, smart woman and glad she doesn’t let people run over her. She is human though, but her granddaughter gives her the same push that she gives her.
This book makes me think, lately I have been volunteering to do more in the community, and I would love to do what she does and inspire more women and help more elderly people and that’s what I plan to do. We have to empower each other and inspire one another we go through so much in this world. We are scared to talk about it as a whole. We need that outlet; we need those stories. That will help people be more open to speak. We try to put those moments back in a dark place and hide those feelings. I just watched the luckiest girl alive that I think us women need to watch.

Your hardships may look different than someone’s else, but they are not better or worse. If you could experience everyone else’s problems for just a few minutes, you’d quickly take yours back. Each of us will experience the grief of loss, the thrill of love, the devastating of not belonging, and the healing of friendship. Others may not experience them in the exact same ways as you do, but their experiences are no less real or powerful than yours. Don’t compare your problems to those of others, because we all have our own heavy burdens to carry.
