Inspiring Reads - What's on your bookshelf?

Look around my home and you will find books everywhere. Arts and travel to inspire my bucket list. Biographies full of life triumphs.  Development and leadership that found me when I needed them most.  By my bedside are children classics, poetry and light reads to escape the everyday. 

My collection has evolved to explore social, economic and environmental systems I have taken for granted. Reading different perspectives and points of view, to understand how we got where we are today, and how to move forward in a positive, inclusive, healthy way. 

For me reading is like breathing. With each page I inhale someone's story. Holding my breath it churns inside me. Exhale and I share with the world, my interpretation through action and words. 

That is why I am thrilled we are partnering with Better World Books. So much more than an on-line bookstore, Better World Books is a Certified B Corp founded on socially conscious principles. Committed to fund literacy worldwide they have raised over $28 million dollars for literacy and libraries. Saving the planet by keeping over 320 million books from landfills. Buy a book and they donate a book to someone in need with over 26 million donations so far.
