Books make Mondays better! This week, I'm reading Books make Mondays better!

This week, I'm reading BOOKWORM by Lucy Mangan.

I'm only a few chapters in and already I'm transported back to my own childhood reading and remembering how all-encompassing my reading life was then. It's a walk down memory lane and is introducing me to so many new (but old!) books to love. 

Plus, I'm buddy reading it with a bookish friend, so that adds to the experience!

This beautiful book swept me away to the sun-kissed, delicious Italian coast and wrapped me in tenderness and love for oneself, for family and for the future. 

When three-second born daughters try to break their family curse, they realize the power was within themselves the entire time. 

It was exactly what I needed.
On this episode of Restorative Reading & Writing f On this episode of Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness, I’m guiding you through a gentle restorative reading and writing session for when life feels small. 

You know, when you find yourself doing the same things in the same way day in and day out and rather than comforting you, it feels like your missing something. 

It’s for when you find yourself saying NO to all sorts of things in your life when saying YES might be what you need to for what’s next to find you.
