Hi again Andi! I love that you started this thread. I have begun to read much more often once again after many years, and the thing that I have gotten for me from reading widely is how it causes me to find my own truth. Sometimes a read a whole book to find just one "stir me up" idea inside. But that book was just as valuable to me if it got my ol' brain in gear.
I guess I am getting old. I have gone back to looking for my internal truth that seems to get lost in the busyness of the world!
Wishing everyone happy reading and lots of peace. ma
