I did ask the good folks that come across my blog if we were reading books this year or nah because this whole year has been the pits and there were times where just the idea of reading something felt like an excruciating task. There were quite a few things that I had to put… Continue reading Reading Challenge 2021 Update

Books: Are We Reading This Year or Nah?
Short answer: Yes. Longer story... Last year I fell all the way off. My vision board goal was to read 40 books for the year. Pandemic. The previous year I started writing reviews which you can check out by looking at posts in that category. And then in my usual consistently inconsistent ways, I fell… Continue reading Books: Are We Reading This Year or Nah?
2019 Update & 2020 Book Challenge
I did not put in the time to do it. This past year of reading was okay but not great and for a simple reason: I did not put in the time to do it. Yes, I read books, 32 in fact, but the goal was to read 50. Within this challenge was to also… Continue reading 2019 Update & 2020 Book Challenge
Book Challenge Update
Honestly I hardly did any reading this summer. I have currently read 26 out of 50 books for my 2019 Reading Challenge. What is likely to happen is that between October and December, I'll scramble to try to read 1-2 books per week. This list of books I've read so far can be found here… Continue reading Book Challenge Update
Book Review: Off the Page
It's taken me almost a month to finish off a physical book. Getting sucked into my old habit of crashing when I get home, listening to podcasts or YouTube videos. This latest book I finished is a Young Adult Fiction. I chose the book namely because of the author, Jodi Picoult, who is known for… Continue reading Book Review: Off the Page

If social media and the news are but a snapshot from a window into ones life, in the autobiography Becoming by Michelle Obama, readers are invited inside to sit and listen as one of America's most beloved First Ladies shares stories from her life. This was a highly anticipated book of 2018 and understandably so.… Continue reading Book Review: Becoming
2019 Book Challenge
Here are some of the categories of books I will be reading for my 2019 book reading challenge. Of course I plan to read more than these, but these are just the categories that I will make an effort to read from. I regularly read Christian novels, self-helps, marriage related, entrepreneurial/business and motivational books. It… Continue reading 2019 Book Challenge
Book Review: Purpose Driven Life
The Purpose Driven Life by Pastor Rick Warren is a pretty popular Christian devotional book. It is meant to be read over 40 days so that you can really process and reflect on each chapter. I decided to read this book because as a school counselor, I get students in my office all the time… Continue reading Book Review: Purpose Driven Life
Book Review: Battlefield of the Mind
As a man thinketh, so is he. I am a fan of Joyce Meyer, both her sermons and her books. She does not preach the prosperity message, but rather a message that says that we can make changes to our lives so that we can enjoy life more abundantly. This book reminds me of that message. “Our past may explain why… Continue reading Book Review: Battlefield of the Mind
How to Read More
We always find reasons to not do something even if it something we know we should do it because it's good for us. It takes discipline and lots of effort. Maybe you used to love reading as a kid but then high school and/or college happened where you only read out of necessity and casual… Continue reading How to Read More
