Inspiration

My Bookstacks

n

 

When I decided that I had to change my life, I had no idea where to start.  Something told me I would find many of the answers I needed in books.  So I canceled my cable.  Yes, that's true.  I stopped watching every basketball and football game and started reading.  I read as much as I could, as often as I could.  Nothing I've ever done for myself has impacted my life to the extent of the written word.  

​

I didn't believe in the power of books, but they changed my life.

These are some of my favorites.
