I love reading. I love a good book. You know what I am thinking here; a book that keeps my interest, gives me a good story or one that I feel like I am a better person after reading. I love that. I especially love when books transform my day-to-day life.

I surely don’t read as much as I would like to these days, because those”job” and “sleep” things get in the way, but I have been reading a few books since this summer which have really helped my day-to-day in both my family and business life.

Wouldn’t you know that I started to read the book, started using the techniques and WHOA! a FABULOUS change occurred. This book really spoke to mine and Brett’s philosophy about making our family function like a team to support each other with love and respect. Amazing!

The other books on my list really focused on the business-side of my life and brain, Quitter, The Legend of the Monk and the Merchant, Rhinoceros Success and The Go-Giver. Each of these books focused on making your business successful and how, as a woman in business, I can look at situations and my every day differently to raise my value at the office and the level of my work.

In life, I am beyond blessed, but I am surely not going to sit still. I thrive on improving myself and am always looking for ways to better my relationships. Maybe I should start a book club? Anyone interested? Do you have any reading suggestions? Let me know!
