What’s on your bookshelf?

My idea of total relaxation is plopping myself by a body of water (ocean, lake, river, bathtub…I’m not fussy) and immersing myself in a good book. While I truly appreciate a good chic lit novel, I’m also partial to self-help, personal and professional growth, devotionals, and historic fiction. And don’t underestimate the power of the occasional beach read (a.k.a. bodice

#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Deborah Johnson

You’re not dead, but there is a tuck of urgency when you’re suddenly acutely aware of that change. As you reassess and evaluate, you quickly
