I grew up a reader. My mom read to me from an early age and once I could read on my own, I kept going. Reading helps you explore your imagination, trying to envision what the characters look like, sound like, what their surroundings look like. It encourages empathy, imagining what the characters are feeling and how they are reacting to their situation. It also provides an “escape”, if you will. Depending on the type of book you are reading, you can be transported to different worlds, magical places and get lost from reality for a little while, it’s like a mind-cation (did I just make up a word? huh, must be channeling my inner-Seuss!)

AuthorI am a working mother and "wife" trying to make it by with a smile on my face! What you'll find here are my thoughts, dreams, and general musings as I explore this journey. "Positive thinking is more than just a tagline. It changes the way we behave. And I firmly believe that when I am positive, it not only makes me better, but it also makes those around me better."
