My Favorite Books
A list of books I recommend...these are the books that have influenced me in some way, have been affirming, and have supported my journey as a mom, parent, and person in the world. You may find little nuggets, or truths in these books that may support your evolution. I hope you will take the good bits you find and create your own philosophy, beliefs and goals, to support your growth.
