I really like the flow and vibe from She Dreams. I want to go back and reread it slowly so I can digest a bit more. When that happens, I'll update the review.

She Dreams reads easy - I was pulled in immediately and loved the connection with dreaming - big dreams, broken dreams, realistic dreams, etc. It made sense to me. It's not some abstract concept that doesn't fit. Bluhm has a humorous voice that lets me think I'm gabbing with a friend rather than reading an almost-self-help book.

What hit me the most was chapter 9 - Stop Scrolling and Start Rolling. I'm not a screen/social media junkie. Truly. I scroll a bit here and there but I keep my screen time monitor on and it's never crazy high. I can even go an entire day (or two!) without checking FB, Twitter, or Insta. It's fine with me. BUT that wasn't truly the focus. The focus was on comparison and HOLY COW. That hit home. I just turned 30. I have an incredible husband, great friends, good financial stuffs, and a career I love teaching kindergarten. But I don't have any living children. It is so easy to focus on that one thing. It's a big thing - but it's not in my hands entirely. It's so easy to think "she's got all that PLUS 2 kids" or "she complains about this but at least she has kids". HOW IS THAT FAIR? It's not and that comparison is stealing my joy. The joy God has given me abundantly.

I'm so grateful for the perspective this book is helping me find. I need those reminders and this will be a book I revisit and gift in the future.
