#FridayReads – Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

I’m going to say the thing you’re not supposed to say – I didn’t want to read a self-help book. And guess what? I didn’t! This is a self-CARE book and that is 100% different. At 220 pages, it was a pretty quick but I kept stopping to underline great stuff like: …and there I…

#FridayReads – Make Trouble by John Waters

So I’m not gonna lie…I picked up this book because it was pink and black…my favorite colors together on the planet. Say it…I’m shallow. (I already know…) I told you in previous #FridayReads posts I have really been into commencement speeches lately and this 70-page book is a revisit of John Waters’ address to the…

#FridayReads – This Is Water by David Foster Wallace

I’ve been going through some things in my personal life that are really hard. Like anyone, I have good days and bad days. This week, I had a really good day. My mentor, Robert Brumby, had mailed a package to me and when I opened it, this 137-page book fell out. Now, it’s a small…

#FridayReads – Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes

It’s been a while, my friends. I have read books but failed to share book reviews, but this one….this one was too good to not share with all of you. I got to the end of the book and thought, “I’m jonesing for some more Shonda!” Yes, it was THAT good! What else you got? …

#FridayReads – Deconstructing Digital by Sheri Fitts

I’m never quite sure when I hear Sheri Fitts name now if I think of her Newfoundland, Aboo, first or the chlorophyll lemonade recommended by her on our recent breakfast together at Harlow’s in Portland, Oregon. Either way – Sheri Fitts is unforgettable in everything she does, including her book “Deconstructing Digital“. Much like Sheri,…

#FridayReads – What Now by Ann Patchett

I love little books. I’m definitely one who will skip over War and Peace and look for the smaller writings found in the nooks and crannies on a library shelf. Such is the case with What Now? by Ann Patchett. I’ve never heard of Ann Patchett. If I had, I would tell you her writing…

#FridayReads – The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

Warning – only read this book if you think you’re strong enough for change. After you’re done reading The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown you will not be able to go back and be your old self. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! I picked up this book thinking it would be a light…

#FridayReads – Keep It Simple by Joe Calloway

When Joe Calloway contacted me and said he was putting something in the mail to me, I waited in breathless anticipation because I knew if it was a book, it was going to be good. Joe, once again, did not disappoint with ‘Keep It Simple’. In this week’s #FridayReads review, I am sharing three lessons…

#FridayReads – Survival Lessons by Alice Hoffman

How have I never heard of Alice Hoffman? The writing within Survival Lessons was so beautiful and so thoughtful, I was left in awe. I read this book on a recent flight between St. Louis and Boston and am sure the two gentlemen I was sitting next to could hear me audibly gasp as I…
