read it

I've always been an avid reader...loved required reading in high school, loved lit classes, and most of all loved reading for pleasure. The past few years I feel like I've struggled to find time to actually sit down and enjoy meaningful books. I can read the mindless "beach" books, as I call them, but not could not focus on deeper books. This summer, however, that all changed...


This was the motto of the summer. Something we LIVED by in Cabins 1-4. After the girls were asleep it was time to sneak out to the porch or into the bathroom to squeeze in as many chapters as I could before my eyes could take no more. I read SO many books this summer...and SO many life-changing ones. Two will forever and always hold a special place in my heart (especially the highlighted, marked in copies I currently own).



Good stuff. Go! Read them now.
Recently I've carried over my summer habit into the school year. I've read 3 books in the past week or so, and I just can't get enough. Books are liberating. They teach me about life. They take me to another world. I've been on the inspirational kick too. Those books that feel like they were written directly to me. Exactly what I need to hear each time I pick them up. My current read right now...


Good stuff so far! I encourage you to get out there and read if you don't already. It can change your life. Wishing my room will look like this one day :)
