Do you like to read? I do. It started with Laura Ingalls Wilder books when I was a little girl. My mother read them to me. When I was thirteen I jumped to reading Sweet Valley Twin books. Oh man, I loved those books. I know, I know…today we are adults and who has time to read? Right? I have quite a few audio books….love these for long drives. AND, it allows me to multitask. Eh…now I feel so productive. But still, there nothing like wrapping up in a blanket with a tangible book…getting whiffs of the paper, feeling the pages, underlining phrases that jump off the page at me, and then stacking it with my other books that have left their mark on me. Satisfaction.:)

One of the first books I read that made an impact on was REWORK. This book was given to me by PROMISE TANGEMAN when we were diving into my website design (I was thrilled to get this in the mail from her….the power of a gift:). Now I have given quite a few copies of this book to others just because I love it so. It is an easy ready. What I love about it is how straightforward it is. It asks me to think outside of what I know and stretches my thinking patterns. It taught me to keep it SIMPLE. So often I get stuck in the trap of perfection…if do this, than I will be good enough. I need to get that…than I can really do what I want to. This books cuts through all the ‘noise’ and says it for what it is.  It’s practical. It is a refreshing perspective. It teaches…simply start where I am and use what I have. What I already have with my intuition…is probably worth more than all those other ‘gadgets’. While this book is directed towards a business….as most business thoughts seem to be…it is simply ‘life’ thoughts.

So if you are up for being challenged….get this book. And tell me what you think! Do you have favorite books? Do tell me….:)
