Midnight Reads
As I have shared with you already, I'm in a bit of a rut. I feel passion to do something different and big but have no idea what the heck that even is! I know that it's good to find contentment in our lives and to make the best of every situation. And I am really trying to do so. But man, I want something MORE!!!! I don't regret much in my life... even the really crappy decisions I have made. I do regret the pain I have caused others, however, without some of those decisions I wouldn't be who I am today or even have my sweet little Edee. And honestly, a world without her would be a very mundane place.
I have slept no more than a few hours the last couple of nights... thinking about work, my marriage, my baby girl, my goals, who I want to be, how incredibly tired I am, how I should work out more, my ideas for renovating the house... the list literally goes on and on. I am not one to be up in the middle of the night. So to be laying there wide awake wondering if I should just get up and workout or turn on a light and read is extremely different for me. And it only has me thinking that something is changing from within. The fire within me is growing. And I feel both exhausted and awakened by these midnight thoughts. Is there something on the horizon? Is my next move approaching? Am I just a stressed out, fatigued nutcase? Possibly. Ha!
So today I am challenging myself to fuel that spark within. I REALLY enjoy reading but since the baby has come around, my reading time has been cut to once every couple of weeks. And if I get 5 pages in before passing out, I feel like a million dollars! It's time to make a little time for me. And I choose to use that investing in soul searching reading material!
The following are books that have either been recommended to me or I've come across during my search for life direction. I want to read them all but will start with the one gifted to me by my lovely mother. Know Your Why is a great book to aid in my journey of self discovery and destiny and I WILL make it a priority over the next few weeks to make a good dent in this book!
The other three books here are ones I may just have to order now. They all sound so inspiring I feel butterflies in my stomach when just reading the summaries! I hope these books help those of you who stumble upon this page, a little encouragement and inspiration! -A
