Don't miss these reads!

 
  This morning while surfing the web I stumbled across a quote from a favorite author of mine, Maya Angelou. She said, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." This quote made we want to share a couple of books with you. 

  The first book I'd like to share is "I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now", by Maya Angelou. In this book she shares many thoughts that blessed me. This is one of my favorites, “Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift.” This book is a quick read, but full of so many wonderful words. 

  The second book I'd like to share is "Tuesdays with Morrie", by Mitch Albom. Don't pass up reading this beautiful story. It blessed me with every page I turned. It's one of those books you pick up and don't put down until it's done.....and when it's done you put it down feeling so captivated by the story he shared. These words rang true for me as I read this beautiful book, “So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” So profound and so touching!!

  I hope you take the time to read both of these books. And I hope they bless you as much as they have blessed me.

Happy reading,
Richelle
