Just feel like sharing today

I’m not sure if I ever told you this Reader…

But I love reading books. I’ve always got a couple on the go and on average finish a book a week. Reading really just makes life that much better.

Here’s a photo of my library book stack. Yes it’s bigger than my head!

Which brings me to the point of this email.

Do more of what you love. And please, don’t let naysayers stop you.

In fact, when I started Geelong with Kids, a lot of people told me I shouldn’t – I already had two businesses, two kids and a pretty full schedule.

But I knew that helping families to make happy memories through my words and pictures was “my thing.”

I don’t know your life and if you’re even able to find time to read, or build a business. Or if anyone in your life “gets it.”

But I just want you to know that if you love it, you should do more of it.

If you’ve been feeling a little unmotivated lately, this is your signal to get excited again about finishing up that project you keep putting off.

GO FOR IT!
