I’ve loved reading, all my life. Being transported to different parts of the world, reading about people who are different than me, or reading about people overcoming challenges.

I love to read and ever since Matt died, I’ve been focusing more on books examining life’s meaning and self-help books. I’d like to share ten quotes that offered me food for thought or inspiration from some of these books.
Composting! Seriously, please don’t delete, read on. I’ve found a really simple way to do it. And to all of you out in California and Colorado who’ve been doing this for a while now, yes, I’m a bit slow, but now I’m all in. Continue reading My Newest Obsession
