Escape - read a book or two…

As you may know, it is our theory that escaping is one of the steps in getting over a break up or a broken heart. The reason is simple. When you get away and reflect on what has just happened, you gain perspective on how perfectly natural change is. Change is inevitable, exciting and totally doable. During this time of reflection we often recommend traveling, hobbies, music or books. If you can pull off all of them, good for you.
In case you’re not in the traveling mood or just don’t have the resources at the moment, why not read a book? Why not escape in the comfort of your own home? We just read a great book that helps one cope with emotional events that are not as clear as they could be. Sometimes denial and betrayal go hand in hand. Everything is Illuminated, is a book that gives you perspective on past events that may be contributing to your current state of anguish. The book glides on the edges of what we are all thinking and won’t admit. Joining this journey of discovery and perspectives may help give you insight into what you are really feeling. You may think you know, but it never hurts to find out what’s going on in that protected region of your mind. Yes, we are speaking in riddles. Want to find out what we are talking about? Read this book! A little reading never killed anybody…
