Thorn,

Sometimes we get too consumed with buying more and more self-help books because we want to WORK on our selves quick. It is a life-long process.

When I was a newbie, I read through probably 20 self-help books a month. In hindsight, I think it contributed to being consumed with Ms. Wonka. I want to share some of my experiences and help you avoid the same trap.

Yes, I did some new GAL activities like learning golf. Yet I my thoughts centered around Ms. Wonka waaaayyy too much in the first several months.

What you might want to do differently is mix things up with good novels if you are a reader. Or rent a good comedy to make you laugh. A good laugh is great medicine.
