This Week's Books!

Recently I have gotten back into reading.   I've been using a kindle and downloading books from the library and realizing that I really missed having time to read.  So, I try to make it a priority again.

Since I am focusing on improvement this year, I have been tailoring my reading to that.  Here's what I've going going on this week.  MTEL History prep book (more on this later) and a self help book about being a crazy, over scheduled Mom!

What are you reading?

Improvement - The Theme of 2018

Recently, as often happens at the start of a new year, I began thinking about things that I could do to make this year better.  What are some things that have been lacking in my life? How can I be a better me in 2018?  A friend of mine picks a word for each new year as something that she has in mind instead of a resolution.  I think this is wonderful and decided to run with it this year. 

Improvement.

What does that mean?  This is something that I think that I get to decide and figure out during the next 12 months.  Initially I can thing of tangible things.  Improving my credit score.  Improving my health.  Improving my earning potential.

But what about the rest? What about improving my spirit? My heart? My knowledge?

This is where this blog comes in.  I have always loved to write.  I have always loved to share my life with others.  I have been reading a lot of really wonderful books written by normal women and moms like me.  I find their honesty inspiring.  I want to have something to be accountable to.  I want to have something that I can use as a sounding board when I feel like my friends and family might get sick of it.  I have a long way to go with my self improvement journey.  I hope you will come along for the ride.

Here's to 2018 and all that it has in store.
