Christy Harrison, Anti-Diet: Reclaim Your Time, Money, Well-Being, and Happiness Through Intuitive Eating

“Happily Single" is recognizing that you don’t need or want to be rescued from your life by a handsome prince because your life is pretty awesome, as is.”
Mandy Hale, The Single Woman–Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass: Embracing Singleness with Confidence

Elizabeth Gilbert
“I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Jordy Rosenberg, Confessions of the Fox

“Do you think you deserve forgiveness?” His father arched his brows. “No one does, son. Forgiveness is a necessary evil so we do not poison ourselves with our own bitterness. When you do forgive me, it will be for your own sake, and I will be a happy casualty.”
Elizabeth Bright, Lady Gone Wicked
