Today is “National Read a Book Day”.
Last year on “National Read A Book Day”, I posted many of the benefits there are to reading books. Here they are again:
Books help improve a person’s concentration and focus.
Books enrich a person’s vocabulary, language, and writing skills.
Books introduce you to a world of make-believe and fantasy.
Books exercise your brain.
Books increase your ability to empathize with others.
Books provide you with knowledge and information.
Books can even help prevent cognitive decline.
Books can entertain, help you to relax, reduce stress, and even sleep.
Books give a person the opportunity to reflect and open up important conversations.
Books inspire.
This afternoon, while I was at work, a beautiful and generous soul dropped off a book at my house for me to read, along with a highlighter! It’s a book that had inspired her, and she knew from following my journey that it was a book that she hopes will inspire me too. From a quick glance so far, it feels like it was written for me!

I can’t wait to read it!
Thank you, beautiful and generous soul, for reminding me that I am worthy 💖
