Don't Hold Your Breath! Amanda Adams

Each day we wake up and perform on the stage of our lives. In doing so, we develop the need to express the hidden thoughts conceived in our minds about our relationships; thoughts of longing for love, feelings of love, loss of love, and the liberty of loving ourselves. This book gives you the opportunity to express yourself! "Don't Hold Your Breath!" has its origin in the annual slumber party I used to give for my closest girlfriends when I lived in New York. We would eat the most fattening foods that we avoided all year long, share tiny morsels of gossip, and reveal the juiciest parts of our reality. It was our time to lay down our degrees, let down our defenses, and just be open and honest with each other about our lives. It was a time for defining our troubles, expressing our fears, soothing our wounds, and renewing our spirits. As young women, we were diverse in our backgrounds and careers, however we shared a common link. We held our breath in hopes of Mr. Right and the subsequent relationship that would ensue. Some of us were found by Mr. Right, and some of us found Mr. Right-Now, however we continued to hold onto the truth; "Boyfriends, lovers, and husbands come and go, but your girlfriends, they are forever!"
