Comfort
Secrets for Busy Women: Finding Your Way When Your Life Is Overflowing by
Jennifer Louden
What do you do to comfort yourself? Maybe you take a few precious minutes
and do something nice for yourself - like curling up on the couch with a pint of
Ben & Jerry’s and a big spoon. Well,

about being kind and nurturing to yourself for the long term, which can sometimes
conflict with the “shadow” comforts we may desire as a quick fix. Read

single babe _____, who is no longer saddled with ____". When
your best girlfriend is not at hand, turn to this journal for some great
exercises - like listing all the things you really couldn't stand about
him, fill in The "It's Not Me, It's YOU" mad lib-eration letter,

along your way. A lifesaver for the broken hearted girlfriend!
