Great Reads

Favorite Books...

 

I loved this book.  Great tips for organizing everything in your home by first, weeding.  Hold each item and ask yourself, "Does this bring me joy?"  If it doesn't, take it to the DI so that it can bring someone else joy.  Also she explains a great way to fold socks and other clothing items and she gives fabulous tips on how to store things.  She recommends organizing by category.  I tried this with our clothes and it worked like a charm! I am now slowly going through everything in the house using this method. If you follow her advice, you will not need to buy extra containers.  She says there is room for what you love already in your house as is.  Brilliant!

I've recommended this book to friends and they all agree it is a page turner.  It is the true story of a woman who had to give up her daughter for adoption.  She reunites with her after 80 plus years! 

It is a very tender story of love and patience.

A true experience of a neurosurgeon who gets lung cancer.  Makes you think deeply about our short time on this earth.  I highly recommend it!

LOVED this book that has many lessons on the importance of being kind.

Life lessons about having faith in God, working hard and getting through tough times with grit.

A Place for Us

This one was go good!  It is about a family that moves to California from India and it has such a great message at the end.  Keep at reading until the end-so very much worth it!!!

The Warner Brothers

This was a good one and I can relate to this family on many different levels.  Of course we adore our Luke who has had to struggle with autism, but this is a good read with insights on the state of autism for our time- 2019.

Books read in 2020:

I read this book the morning of January 1st.  It was a good reminder to watch out for the overdone consumerism of Christmas, to avoid excess and to look for ways to give to those in need.

Great book to start out the new year on how to establish and keep good habits
