I don't normally read the "self-help" sort of books out there. I view reading as more of a brain candy or lose-myself venture. So, when I signed up to review this book, I knew I was taking a chance. But, God must've known that I was going to need to read it!
I must say that I'm cutting the wire close on this review because the past week has been daunting--to say the least. So what better book, aptly entitled "Untangled", should go with my stress-ball of a week? Divine intervention at its greatest!!!
Carey Scott provides a short length (approx. 200 pages) book that focuses untangling the mess we make of things in our life from marriage and kids to friendship and social media. She tackles serious issues with frequent doses of humor that left me literally chuckling out loud--because real life is funny stuff.
I am hesitant to expound too much in fear I may spoil some topics or explain too much. Most of the book is very enlightening and broken down into useful advice and anecdotes. However, some issues she tackles don't really pertain to my life right now (like raising kids). And in other places, I felt she had made her point and I was ready to move on, but she wasn't. Those parts I got a little drowsy on, but overall the book was very informative and there are several dog-eared pages that I want to go back and highlight sections, points or quotes. Overall rating is 4.5 stars out of 5.
(I was given this book free by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.)

Roscoe
A good walking buddy and awesome frisbee catcher! Life cut short by a brain tumor.
Tuffy
If ever there was a candidate for Dog Heaven, it would be Tuff. Tuff was put to rest December 7, 2012. At almost 14 years old, he threw the longevity curve for dogs of his breed-makeup and size. He battled 2 types of cancer and Cushing's Disease as well as arthritis. Faithful to the end and never grumpy, depite the constant care and nagging from me. Always the protector, gentleman and companion--you will be sorely missed by all who had the opportunity to know you.
Cranky Thomas
Ever wonder why it's called "Life On CT Farm"? The horse you see in the pictures is Cranky Thomas, a registered quarter horse gelding. He was born May 5, 1980 in Galion, Alabama and passed away August 3, 2004 on CT Farm--his farm. He originally belonged to my husband, but I adopted him and I think he adopted me. We competed together in contest classes at local horse shows. But, an old injury finally slowed him down and I retired him in 2000. He was a loving and patient being that I completely trusted and admired. There will never be another like him, never. He meant so much to me that I named our farm after him as well as my company, Cranky T. LLC. He's gone now, but is still with me and now you.
