Inspirational Women: great reads about brave women

Let's talk about women travelers. I have, for a majority of my life, been obsessed with traveling and when we got the Sunday paper, always collected the Travel section. I was so excited to learn about exotic places, different cultures, foods, art and more. I hadn't even been on a plan until we, my sister and I, were about 11 or 12, we took a small trip to San Francisco...pretty cool place.  I fell in the ocean, when we were going for a photo op...I always have fun awkward stories to tell of my travels, makes talking about my trips that more interesting and fun.

Years ago, I heard about the book "Eat, Pray, Love",  an autobiography by Elizabeth Gilbert, which is a lovely true story about a lady who isn't happy, leaves her partner and wants to travel. So she sets off on a year adventure, 4 months in Italy, India and Bali, Indonesia. The movie is quite good too. A while later I found a book "Tales of a Female Nomad", by Rita Golden Gelman... a great book about a lady's travels, not having a permanent home, staying with locals all over, and her incredible experiences. Before I giver my list of favorite ones I've read, I want to explain more about why I love some of them.

Girl stop apologizing... great book, by the author who also wrote "Girl, wash your face". Fabulous read, and appropriately titled book, about empowering women to go after their dreams, despite societal expectations.

What I was doing while you were breeding... this is a hilarious compilation of the author's travels and intimate relations with men, and all the other adventures in between. Great quick read for those of you wanting an honest travel single women book.

Very similarly, is the book No one told you this is about the author's life, she is single, 40 and can do what she pleases-- very good read.

  1. After having a persistent cough for over a year, I was diagnosed with COPD
    in March 2015. In 2016 my COPD got worse to the point where not only do I
    have trouble sleeping at night, I also struggle to get air into my lungs. I
    read in a health forum of a herbal centre (native health clinic) who have successful treatment to COPD/Emphysema, i immediately
    contacted the herbal centre via their website and purchased the COPD herbal
    remedy, I used the remedy for 2 weeks, all my symptoms were reversed, i did
    another test for confirmation, i was declared COPD free. email (
    nativehealthclinic@gmail.com) or WhatsApp/Call him on +2348140073965

  3. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
