Grow Together, Glow Together

Something weird about me is that I have an obsession with books, but actually don't love reading.

I love the idea of being a reader, love the feeling of a book in my hand, and love knowing I'm investing in myself.

I don't like how long reading takes me, how mentally draining it is to retain the information, or how my long list of competing contingencies keep me from making time to read.

Sometimes I need a little extra motivation to read or finish reading something. I have SO many unfinished books 🫠

This year, I set a goal for myself to read at least one book. JUST ONE BOOK FOR THE WHOLE YEAR! 🤣

If that goal wasn't simple enough, I still needed another motivator and that's where my wonderful husband came in. I asked him to set the same goal as me and we would do our reading together. When he reads, I read and vice versa.

Not only does having this goal together, help keep me on track. It also brings my husband and I closer together and makes reading more enjoyable and special.

P.S. There are books that I have read and finished, that I've shared in other blog posts. My hope is to read more consistently, fill my brain with knowledge, and share that knowledge with others!
