Book Love

Good morning!!

Monday again.  Time sure does fly.

I took some time off the computer this weekend and it felt wonderful.

I really need to evaluate the time I spend on this baby.

By doing that I found all kinds of extra time.

Imagine that.

I organized photos so that maybe this year I can get back to some scrapbooking.  I truly miss that hobby.

I spent some time at the studio.

My husband and I went to the Professional Bull Riders show in Chicago.

And on Sunday, after mass and Sunday lunch (two activities I truly love), I sat down in my cozy chair with some magazines and books.

It was a wonderful day.

I just finished reading Love Does by Bob Goff.

I highly recommend this book.

I’ll start by saying I would love to meet this man.

What an amazing human being.

Each chapter is itself a little story about love.  A story from his life.  An example of how we should live and love.

Love is at the core of everything he does.  Yes, DOES!  Love is not just a feeling.  To him it is ACTION!!

It makes me want to DO!!

I enjoyed each chapter.  Laughed and retold the stories to my family.  I even took a few notes.

This book definitely left an impact.

When I finished that, I started a new one.

A novel by Lee Woodruff called Those We Love Most.

I loved her first book, In an Instant, so I knew this would be a good one.

I am already over 100 pages into it.

Very good so far.

Can’t wait til tonight to open it back up.

But that has to wait until I get a few things done around the house

Like clean off my desk….again.

Jeesh.  Why do I let piles accumulate?

Have a great day ladies!!

    Thanks for the book recommendations. Can’t wait to read them. I hate piles too and they seem to accumulate too quickly! Enjoy your day.

  2. I stepped away for most of the weekend too. And got a lot of stuff accomplished. But don’t stay away too long – I’d miss you!

    Sometimes I find it necessary to walk away from those gadgets of mine…computer & iphone;-D…and get back to the basic things I enjoy. Like a good book:) I love it when you share books that you’ve read because they’re always a good read! Thanks, Traci!!

    I always enjoy your book recommendations. Thanks for sharing. I now have a couple more to add to my list.

    Also wondering….what’s happened to the ‘studio’ that was in your house? Now just your craft/work room? Just an inquiring mind.

    Oh, and to answer one of your emails from a few days back…..I’d move!! :)

    Love Does sounds like a great book, and you know how much I read, hehe!

  6. I seem to have less time for the computer these days but I still can’t find time for more reading which I really want to do. I feel so busy lately and really need to find a way to be less busy I guess.

    I love the photo sessions at your new studio space. They are amazing. I’m so happy for you lady!
