A Must Read

Blog Posted:4/30/2021 5:19:00 PM

Hi Everyone, I hope you all are doing well. I've been feeling sort of blue lately. However, I feel much better to day because I just finished reading a book a fellow resident of SoupVille Lane. Marilene Evans wrote the book a few years back. It's called LOVE AND CELEBRATE YOU.It's a collection of poems that motivates, encourages and inspires. She has great advice that one could apply to their daily life. For me it was like receiving a recipe to life your best life. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a pick me up, I think it's worth read. You can get the book on Amazon. I purchased a ebook.

Thanks so much, Alexis! I do appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I am so moved how my poems perked you up. Go out there and pursue you dreams. We are never too old to dream, to do what would make us feel we are making a difference in somebody's life. Work on what you want to do. Thanks again.
