to read:

Why yes, I do realize it has been over a month since I've updated this thing. Silly me. The college life tends to keep you busy. However I've decided, just yesterday, that my NEW YEARS RESOLUTION is going to be keeping up with my blog. Another one of my new years resolutions (yes, I have multiple)  is to constantly be reading a book. My dream would be to read about 100 books a year but that is just not something I'm going to be able to accomplish...at least for now. But there are so many good one's out there and I want to get to as many as possible.

After reading the life changing true story of one Alexander McCandless in Into the Wild, which I recommend to all you lovely specimens capable of reading, I began Grace Eventually. A book by the coolest woman alive, Anne Lamott. What makes her so fa-reaking awesome you ask? Well besides the fact that she is a fifty-something year old with dreadlocks, her past and experiences through life have made her one of the most open minded and insightful people EVER. And I just really enjoy reading her thoughts on faith. She kind of gets it right in my opinion. OH and did I mention she has dreads?

              Both of these books have changed the way I look at life, and God. Reading is just one of 
                     THOSE LITTLE THINGS 
                                   that can have such a significant impact.



                                                

 

and the list goes on...
